Ships That Don't Come In by Joe Diffie
Ships That Don't Come In
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:1st fret
[Intro]
G C Cm G x2
[Verse 1]
G Dm
I could tell he'd had a tough life by the way he sat and stared
C G
And, me, I'd come to push and shove - so, I pulled up a chair
G Dm
We talked of roads untraveled we talked of love untrue
C G
Of strings that come unraveled we were kings and kindred fools
Am D
And just when I'd hit bottom - that old man raised his glass
Am Dsus4 D
And said, at least we had our chances there's those who never have
[Chorus]
C D G Em
So, here's to all the soldiers who have ever died in vain
Am D G C/G
The insane locked up in themselves the homeless down on Main
C D Bm C
To those who stand on empty shores and spit against the wind
Am Em7 C N.C. G C Cm G
And those who wait forever For Ships That Don't Come In
[Verse 2]
G Dm
He said its only life's illusions that bring us to this bar
C G
To pick up these old crutches and compare each other’s scars
G Dm
'Cuz the things we're calling heartaches - hell, they're hardly worth our time
C G
We bitch about a dollar - when there's those without a dime
Am Dsus4 D
And as he ordered one last round he said I guess we can’t complain
Am Dsus4 D
God made life a gamble and we're still in the game
[Chorus]
C D G Em
So, here's to all the soldiers who have ever died in vain
Am D G C/G
The insane locked up in themselves the homeless down on Main
C D Bm C
To those who stand on empty shores and spit against the wind
Am Em7 C N.C. G
And those who wait forever For Ships That Don't Come In
[Ending]
Am Em7 C N.C. G C Cm G x2
And those who wait forever For Ships That Don't Come In
