-Verse-

Bm            Bm*       G
Watching the ships roll in
D                     Bm     Bm*      G
hoping that I will still be his friend
        D
in the morning

Bm            Bm*       G
watching those ships roll by
D                     Bm    Bm*    G
wishing that I could move this earth
     A
if I could
          Bm
for you I would do

-Chorus-

          Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say
         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping
           G              A                   D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

-Verse-

Bm                Bm*      G
Still watching the oceans move
D               Bm        Bm* G
if only I could show you my soul
                 D
and places I've been

-Verse-

Bm            Bm*       G
watching the ocean come
D                 Bm    Bm*      G       A
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk
                     Bm
longing to listen to you talk

-Chorus-

         Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say
         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping
           G              A                   D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

-Chorus-

         Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say
         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping
           G              A                 333*  D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
