Intro: C / Am / D / E 




E                       E/F# G              D               E 
     I sat by the ocean        and drank a potion, baby to erase you. 
C                        Am                      E 
     Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn't face you. 
E                                 E/F# G             D 
     There ain't no use in crying.       It doesn't change anything, 
              E 
     So baby what good does it do? 
C                            Am 
     Your friends, they all sympathize. 
            E 
     Maybe, I don't need them too. 

  C                  E 
Imagine I'd be your one and only 
  C                     E 
Instead I'm the lonely one 

C    D        E  
You, me and a lie. 
Am          D             E                     C 
Silence is closer. We're passing ships in the night. 

E 
    There's nowhere to run away. 

E/F# G Said,            D                           E 
      ?Boy if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new.? 
    C                       Am                  E  
      ?Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you?? 
E 
       Lies are a funny thing. 
E/F# G                           D                      E 
       They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you. 
    C              Am                   E 
       Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view. 

C                    E 
Imagine I'd be your one and only 
C                       E 
Instead I'm the lonely one 

C    D         E 
You, me and a lie.                                      | 
Am          D                E                  C       |  x2 
Silence is closer.  We're passing ships in the night.   | 


E         C 
Into the night, 
E                     C 
Left with nowhere to hide. 


C / Am / D / E   x2 


Am           D 
Closer and closer. 
        E                    C 
We're crashing ships in the night 


C / Am / D / E    x2   (end on E)
