Near the end of the song when the tempo slows, you will notice a strange chord it is:

-Verse-

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

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

-Chorus-

          G
I've got nothing to say
         Bb
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

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

-Verse-

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

-Verse-

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

-Chorus-

         G
I've got nothing to say
         Bb
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

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

-Chorus-

         G
I've got nothing to say
         Bb
I've got nothing to lay at your feet

I just keep hoping
           D
