   Ab            Db7M 
We walked to the sea
        Eb         C7/E
Just my father and me
        Fm          Ab/Eb         Db7M 
And the dogs played around on the sand
       Ab           Db7M 
Winter cold cut the air
         Eb       C7/E
Hangin' still everywhere
           Fm           Ab/Eb       Db7M   Db/Eb  Eb
Dressed in gray, did he say Hold my hand

Ab7                             Db        Ab/C Bbm
I said, love's easier when it's far away
           Bbm7M      Bbm7    Eb/G  Eb
We sat and watched a distant light

          B          D#m         E    F#7(4)
We're two ships that pass in the night
         B           D#m           E    F#7(4)
And we smile and we say it's alright
              B
We're still here
               D#m           E7M 
It's just that we're out of sight
        Eb/G   G#m      F#             E7M  
Like those   ships that pass in the night

( F#  Ab7M  Db7M  )

             Ab           Db7M 
There's a boat on the line
                 Eb         C7/E
Where the sea meets the sky
           Fm               Ab/Eb     Db7M 
There's another that rides far behind
           Ab              Db7M            Eb
And it seems you and I are like strangers
  C7/E  Fm                 Ab/Eb             Db7M  
A wide ways apart as we drift on through time

( Db/Eb  Eb )

Ab7                                      Db  <Ab/C Bbm
He said, it's harder now, we're far away
           Bbm7M      Bbm7    Eb/G  Eb
We only read you when you write

                 B             D#m     E  F#7(4)
We're two ships that pass in the night
               B               D#m    E   F#7(4)
We both smile and we say it's alright
                 B
We're still here
                    D#m           E7M 
It's just that we're out of sight
        Eb/G   G#m         F#           E7M  
Like those   ships that pass in the night
