[Intro]
G#
G# A# B F# G# F# E C#m G#

[Verse]
G#                A# B
I sat by the ocean
              F#              G#      F# E
And drank the potion baby to erase you
                  C#m                     G#      
Face down in the Boulevard yet I couldn't face you
G#                          A# B
There ain't no use in crying
           F#                        G#                  F# E
It doesn't change anything, so baby what good does it do?
                       C#              G#                   
Your friends they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to

[Pre-Chorus]
E           F#       G#         
Imagine I'd be your one and only
E               F#      G#
Instead I'm the lonely one
E    F#         G#7
You, me, and a lie

[Chorus]
C#m         F#   
Silence is closer
      G#7                   E   
We're passing ships in the night

[Verse]
G#                 A# B    
There's nowhere to run away
              F#              G#       F#  E                                
Said, 'Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new'
                  C#m                      G#                  
'Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you'?
G#                    A# B
Lies are a funny thing
           F#                        G#                   F# E      
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you
                       C#               G#      
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view

[Pre-Chorus]
E           F#       G#         
Imagine I'd be your one and only
E               F#      G#
Instead I'm the lonely one
E    F#         G#7
You, me, and a lie

[Chorus]
C#m         F#   
Silence is closer
      G#7                   E   
We're passing ships in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
E    F#         G#7
You, me, and a lie

[Chorus]
C#m         F#   
Silence is closer
      G#7                   E   
We're passing ships in the night
G#7       E        G#7                 E 
Into the light, left with nowhere to hide

[Instrumental]
E C#m F# G#7

[Chorus]
C#m         F#   
Closer and closer
      G#7                    E   
We're crashing ships in the night
