C             F            G          E
We walked to the sea, just my father 'n' me
        Am          C             F   G
And the dogs played around on the sand
       C            F            G          E
Winter cold cut the air, hangin' still ev'rywhere
           Am           C           F  G
Dressed in gray, did he say hold my hand
C             C7               F       Em
I said love's easier when it's far away
Dm        F                 G    F
We sat 'n watched a distant light

G         C          Em          F    G
We're two ships that pass in the night
        C            Em         F    G
We both smile and we say it's alright
            C                    Em           F    E
We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight
            Am        G           F    G
Like those ships that pass in the night

          C           F              G             E
There's a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky
         Am          C           F   G
There's another that rides far behind
        C            F            G         E          Am
And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide ways apart
      C                F
As we drift on through time
C            C7               F       Em
He said it's harder now we're far away
Dm      F                  G   F
We only read you when you write

G         C          Em          F    G
We're two ships that pass in the night
       C             Em         F    G
And we smile when we say it's alright
            C                    Em           F    E
We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight
            Am        G           F    G
Like those ships that pass in the night

      C          Em          F    G
We're ships that pass in the night
       C             Em         F    G
And we smile when we say it's alright
            C                    Em           F    E
We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight
            Am        G           F    G
Like those ships that pass in the night

      C          Em          F    G
We're ships that pass in the night
       C             Em         F    G
And we smile when we say it's alright
            C                    Em           F    E
We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight
