Ships On An Ocean by Jane's Party
Ships On An Ocean
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Dm G
As I count the ways
G C F
That this Edison lightbulb flatters your face
Dm G
Think it's funny how
C
You never notice the little things
F Dm
Until it all goes to waste
[Chorus]
Dm
And if I said I was sorry
G
Would it make it alright?
C F
I'll stay up and lose myself Late into the night
Dm
As I wonder what could have been
G
Wonder what might
G C F C
We're just ships on an ocean, Blind in the night
[Verse 2]
Dm G
Yeah I guess I was full of it
G
I guess you were right
C
This bottle of import
F Dm
Tastes domestic tonight
[Verse 3]
Dm G
As I come to grips
G
With the words that so effortlessly
G F
Escape from your lips
Dm G
So well rehearsed,
G
I could almost see all of it
C F
In some B-movie script
[Chorus]
Dm
Where the hero's been wounded
G
It's the drawn-out goodbye
G F Dm
Since when does it ever take A half-hour to die
Dm
Yeah I've wondered what could have been
G
Wondered what might
G C F C
We're two ships on an ocean Burning up in the night
[Bridge]
Dm G C F x 2
Naaa na na na naaaaa naa etc
[Verse 4]
Dm
And we're all singing the same words
G
to some worn-out refrain
And we're somehow still wondering
F
Why it turns out the same
F
Is it so complicated?
F G
These things that we do
C F
You'd think we'd be old enough To start facing the truth
F Dm
Yeah I guess I was full of it
[Outro]
Dm G
Maybe you were right
G F C
We're just ships on an ocean Burning up in the night
