Chords

[Notes] - Converted G# Acoustic Guitar version by AlexFluffyman to ukelele chords here - I find it easier to play this transposed +1 (so Ab becomes A, and so on) - For the Ab Bb B progressions simply play one strum of each, then continue with strumming the last letter's chord (e.g. strum Ab once, then Bb once, then keep strumming B) - Currently unsure of strumming pattern but you may be able to pick it up from the acoustic playing here: - When starting off the strumming pattern of a Verse, the first set should be Down Down Tap (2 downs) then, from there you can do 3 downs tap. So it should be D-D-Tap, D-D-D-Tap, D-D-D-Tap, D-D-Pause-Tap. The bulk of the verse should be 3 Downs (D-D-D-Tap). [Intro] E Dbm Gb Ab [Verse 1]
Ab                  Ab Bb B
I sat by the ocean

            Gb               Ab
And drank a potion, baby, to erase you

E                Dbm
Face down in the Boulevard

               Ab
Yet I couldn't face you

Ab                           Ab Bb B
There ain't no use in crying

           Gb                        Ab
It doesn't change anything, so baby, what good does it do?

E                      Dbm
Your friends, they all sympathize

       Ab
Maybe, I don't need them to
[Chorus]
 E                   Ab
Imagined I'd be your one and only

  E                   Ab
Instead of the lonely one

E    Gb       Ab
You, me and a lie

Dbm         Gb           Ab                    E
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night
[Verse 2]
Ab                          Ab Bb B
There's nowhere to run away,       said

                    Gb                         Ab
"Boy, if you want love, you'll have to go and find it with someone new

E                    Dbm
Do you know who you really are?

        Ab
Are you sure it's really you?"

Ab                     Ab Bb B
Lies are a funny thing

                             Gb
They slip through your fingertips

                Ab
Because they never happened to you

E           Dbm                 Ab
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view
[Chorus]
E                    Ab
Imagined I'd be your one and only

  E                   Ab
Instead of the lonely one

E    Gb       Ab
You, me and a lie

Dbm         Gb           Ab                    E
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night

E    Gb       Ab
You, me and a lie

Dbm         Gb           Ab                    E
Silence is closer, we're passing ships in the night

Ab          E     Ab                    E
End to the night, left with nowhere to hide
[Outro]
Dbm         Gb             Ab                   E
Closer and closer, we're crashing ships in the night
