CAPO: I

VERSE 1:
 
     G            Em          D          B7
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
        Em           D             C
and the dogs played around on the sand.
        G          Em           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             Eb  
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          Em               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          Em           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.
