Intro: E5  A5  F#5  E5  A5  D5

   A5             D5
We walked to the sea
          E5        F?
Just my father and me
       F#5          F#5         D5
And the dogs played around on the sand
  A5                 D5
Winter cold cut the air
         E5         F?
Hangin' still everywhere
           F#5          F#5       D5 D5 A5
Dressed in gray, did he say Hold my hand
                                D5     D5 C#5 B5
I said, love's easier when it's far away
             B5      B5    E5
We sat and watched a distant light
           C5         E5           F5    F5
We're two ships that pass in the night
         C5           E5         F5    F5
We both smile and we say it's alright
       C5
We're still here
                E5            F5
It's just that we're out of sight
     E5   A5         G5           F5  G5 ( A5  D5 )
Like those ships that pass in the night
          A5            D5
There's a boat on the line
          E5             F?
Where the sea meets the sky
           F#5         F#5      D5
There's another that rides far behind
        A5           D5            E5
And it seems you and I are like strangers
   F?        F#5           F#5         D5   D5 A5
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time
                                 D5    D5 C#5 B5
He said, it's harder now, we're far away
         B5    B5       E5
We only read you when you write

We're two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night
We're just ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night
We're just two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say it's alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
