-Verse-
Bb Bb* G
Watching the ships roll in
D Bb Bb* G
hoping that I will still be his friend
D
in the morning
Bb Bb* G
watching those ships roll by
D Bb Bb* G
wishing that I could move this earth
A
if I could
Bb
for you I would do
-Chorus-
Bb Bb* G
I've got nothing to say
G A Bb
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
-Verse-
Bb Bb* G
Still watching the oceans move
D Bb Bb* G
if only I could show you my soul
D
and places I've been
-Verse-
Bb Bb* G
watching the ocean come
D Bb Bb* G A
and little girls playing in the sand as I walk
Bb
longing to listen to you talk
-Chorus-
Bb Bb* G
I've got nothing to say
G A Bb
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-
Bb Bb* G
I've got nothing to say
G A Bb
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
