-Verse-
Bm            Bm*       G
Watching the ships roll in

D                     Bm     Bm*      G
hoping that I will still be his friend

        D
in the morning

Bm            Bm*       G
watching those ships roll by

D                     Bm    Bm*    G
wishing that I could move this earth

     A
if I could

          Bm
for you I would do
-Chorus-
          Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say

         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
           G              A                   D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be

Bm                Bm*      G
Still watching the oceans move

D               Bm        Bm* G
if only I could show you my soul

                 D
and places I've been
-Verse-
Bm            Bm*       G
watching the ocean come

D                 Bm    Bm*      G       A
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk

                     Bm
longing to listen to you talk
-Chorus-
         Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say

         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
           G              A                   D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
-Chorus-
         Bm     Bm*  G
I've got nothing to say

         G       A  Bm
I've got nothing to lay at your feet
I just keep hoping
           G              A                 333*  D
hope that you will be the man that I couldn't be
