Ships That Dont Come In Joe Diffie
[G]I could tell he'd had a tough life
By the way [F]he sat and stared
[C]And me, I'd come to push and shove
So I [G]pulled up a chair.
[G]We talked of roads untraveled
We tal[F]ked of love untrue
Of st[C]rings that come unraveled
We were kings [G]and kindred Fools
And jus[Am]t when I'd hit bottom
That old[D] man raised his glass
And said at least [Am]we had our chances
There's tho[D]se who never have.
CHORUS
So h[C]ere's to all the soldie[D]rs
Who have ever die[G]d in [D]vain[C]
The in[Am]sane locked up in themsel[D]ves
The ho[G]meless down on Main
To t[C]hose who stand on empty shores[D]
And spit[G] again[D]st the wind[C]
And tho[Am]se who wait forever[D]
For sh[C]ips that don't [D]come in.[G] [G]
2nd Verse
He said it's only life's illusions
That bring us to this bar
To pick up these old crutches
And compare each othees scars
'Cuz the things we're calling heartache
Hell, they're hardly worth our time
We bitch about a dollar
When there's those without a dime.
And as he ordered one last round
He said I guess we cant complain
God made life a gamble
And we're still in the game.
REPEAT CHORUS
