Ships That Dont Come In chords

Capo 1

[INTRO]

[G] [C/G] [Cm] [G]
[G] [C/G] [Cm] [G]

[VERSE 1]

I could t[G]ell he'd had a tough life
By the w[C/G]ay he sat and stared
And [C]me, I'd come to push and shove
So [G]I pulled up a chair
We ta[G]lked of roads untraveled
We ta[C/G]lked of love untrue
Of st[C]rings that come unraveled
We were k[G]ings and kindred fools
And j[Am]ust when I'd hit bottom
That o[D]ld man raised his glass
And said at l[Am]east we had our chances
There's th[D]ose who never have

[CHORUS]

So h[C]ere's to all the so[D]ldiers
Who have e[G]ver [D/F#]died in v[Em]ain
The i[Am]nsane locked up i[D]n themselves
[G] [G] - [Am] - [G]/B - [C]
The homeless down on Main
To th[C]ose who stand on em[D]pty shores
[Bm] [C] [C] - [G/B] - [Am]
And spit against the wind
And t[Am]hose who [G/B]wait for[C]ever
For ships that don't come i[G]n

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[G] [C/G] [Cm] [G]

[VERSE 2]

He said it's o[G]nly life's illusions
That b[C/G]ring us to this bar
To p[C]ick up these old crutches
And com[G]pare each other's scars
'Cuz the th[G]ings we're calling heartaches
Hell, they're h[C/G]ardly worth our time
We b[C]itch about a dollar
When there's th[G]ose without a dime.
And as he or[Am]dered one last round, he said
[D] [C] - [G/B] - [Am]
I guess we can't complain
[Am]God made life a gamble
And we[D]'re still in the game.

[Repeat Chorus]
