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.
