Verse:
G# Bb B
I sat by the ocean
F# G# F# E
And drank the potion baby to erase you
C#m G#
Face down in the Boulevard yet I couldn't face you
G# Bb B
There ain't no use in crying
F# G# F# E
It doesn't change anything, so baby what good does it do?
C# G#
Your friends they all sympathize, maybe I don't need them to
Pre-Chorus:
E F# G#
Imagine I'd be your one and only
E F# G#
Instead I'm the lonely one
E F# G#7
You, me, and a lie
Chorus:
C#m F#
Silence is closer
G#7 E
We're passing ships in the night
Verse 2:
There's nowhere to run away
Said, 'Boy if you want love, you'll have to go
and find it with someone new'
'Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it's really you'?
Lies are a funny thing
They slip through your fingertips because
they never happened to you
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view
Pre Chorus:
Imagine I'd be your one and only
Instead I'm the lonely one
You, me, and a lie
Chorus:
Silence is closer
We're passing ships in the night
Pre Chorus:
E F# G#7
You, me, and a lie
Chorus:
C#m F#m
Silence is closer
G#7 E
We're passing ships in the night
G#7 E G#7 E
End to the light, left with nowhere to hide
Instrumental: E C#m F# G#7
Chorus:
C#m F#
Closer and closer
G#7 E
We're crashing ships in the night
