Ships In The Night chords by Courtney Marie Andrews

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

In the recording, the C majorC and G+G chords switch back and forth to Csus2/Gsus2 too often to be able to transcribe
for this. If you want to play it just like the album, just listen for the timing, it will all be simple
hammer ons and pull offs.

Verse 1:
   G+G               C majorC   G+G
I am sending you a postcard from the United States
   G+G              C majorC    D MajorD
With words on the back, never got a chance to say
    C majorC             D MajorD      E minorEm
When it soars across that pond and reaches your house
    G+G              C majorC     G+G
May it leave you with closure and a little less doubt

Verse 2:
     G+G                 C majorC        G+G
Hope you eased up on the drinking, hope you laugh, hope you care
     G+G               C majorC      D MajorD
Hope your days are even better than the ones that we shared
   C majorC                D MajorD       E minorEm
And I hope that you find love, settle down somewhere new
   G+G               C majorC    G+G
And I hope that this world sees who I see in you

Chorus:
 C majorC               C majorC Csus2Csus2 G+G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
 C majorC                 C majorC Csus2Csus2    D MajorD
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C majorC        G+G  C majorC      G+G
Ships in the night, ships in the night

C majorC G+G

Verse 2:
     G+G                C majorC      G+G
Since the last time I saw you, well, I’ve seen better days
   G+G               C majorC    D MajorD
The person that I used to be seems so far away
        C majorC               D MajorD     E minorEm
And she’s not traveling down God’s highway, in books, or melodies
   G+G              C majorC       G+G
But maybe in these words is where you will find me

Chorus:
 C majorC               C majorC Csus2Csus2 G+G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
 C majorC                 C majorC Csus2Csus2    D MajorD
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C majorC        G+G  C majorC      G+G
Ships in the night, ships in the night

C majorC G+G

Chorus:
 C majorC               C majorC Csus2Csus2 G+G
I know you tried to reach me, I know you tried
 C majorC                 C majorC Csus2Csus2    D MajorD
I know we felt the same way, but the timing wasn’t right
C majorC        G+G  C majorC      G+G   C majorC       G+G
Ships in the night, ships in the night, ships in the night

C majorC G+G

Outro:
     C majorC            B minorBm
From this Arizonan desert to your cold English shores
  D MajorD          C majorC    G+G
I’m sending you my love, nothing more
  D MajorD            C majorC    G+G
I’m sending you my love and nothing more
