Am           F          C
Watching the ships roll in,
Am          C      F        G   F              C       C G Am
Hoping that I will still be his friend, in the morning
Am             F          C
Watching those ships roll by,
Am           C       G         F          G
Wishing that I could move this earth, if I could, 
             Am
For you I would do.


                     G  F                         G  Am    
But I've got nothing to say, and I've got nothing to lay at your feet
                    G       F               G                  C     C G Am
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man, that I couldn't be.


Am                 F      C
Still watching the oceans move,
Am      C       F        G  F                C          C G Am
If only I could show you my soul, and places I've been,
Am           F     C
Watching the ocean curl,
Am         C     G              F        G
And little girls playing in the sand as I walk,
                         Am
Longing to listen to you talk.


                     G  F                         G  Am    
But I've got nothing to say, and I've got nothing to lay at your feet
                    G       F               G                  C    
I just keep hoping, hoping, you will be the man, that I couldn't be.
