CAPO: I
VERSE 1:

     G            C           D          B7 
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
        Em           D             C   
and the dogs played around on the sand.
        G          C            D          B7   
Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
            Em          D       C       D    
dressed in gray, did he say, “Hold my hand” ?
G                         G7               C
I said, “Love’s easier when it’s far away.”
Am                    C        D   
We sat and watched a distant light.
CHORUS:

            Bb       Dm          Eb    F
We’re two ships that pass in the night,
         Bb          Dm         Eb    F
we both smile and we say it’s alright.
             Bb                   Dm             D# 
We’re still here, it’s just that we’re out of sight,
            Bb         F           Eb     F  
like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.

VERSE 2:

           G          C                D            B7  
There’s a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
           Em         D           C   
there’s another that rides far behind.
          G          C            D           B7 
and it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide
       Em         D                 C  D
ways apart as we drift on through time.
G               G7                  C   
He said, its harder now, we’re far away,
Am       C             D        
we only read you when you write.

REPEAT CHORUS
