[Verse 1]
         G                                 Dm7
I could tell he'd had a tough life… by the way he sat and stared
     C               Cadd9     C         G                 G+
And, me, I'd come to push and shove… so, I pulled up a chair
    G                              Dm7
We talked of roads untraveled… we talked of love untrue
    C                 Cadd9   C          G                 G+
Of strings that come unraveled… we were kings and kindred fools
     Am7                            Dsus4               D
And just when I'd hit bottom…  that old man raised his glass
              Am7                              Dsus4            D
And said… at least we had our chances… there's those who never have
 
[Chorus 1]
     C                 D                  G   D/Gb    Em
So, here's to all the soldiers… who have ever died in vain
     Am7             D                   G       D/Gb     G Am7 Em7
The insane locked up in themselves… the homeless down on Main
    C                  D                 Bm7              C
To those who stand on empty shores… and spit against the wind
     Am        G/B    C*                                  G  G+  C  Cm
And those who wait fore-ver…   For Ships That Don't Come In
 
[Verse 2]
             G                           Dm7
He said its only life's illusions… that bring us to this bar
    C                 Cadd9  C        G                  G+
To pick up these old crutches… and compare each other’s scars
          G                                    Dm7
'Cuz the things we're calling heartaches… hell… they're hardly worth our time
    C            Cadd9  C                G               G+
We bitch about a dollar…   when there's those without a dime
           Am7                               Dsus4             D
And as he ordered one last round, he said… I guess we can’t complain
Am7                           Dsus4               D
  God made life a gamble… and we're still in the game
 
[Chorus 2]
     C                 D                  G   D/Gb    Em
So, here's to all the soldiers… who have ever died in vain
     Am7             D                   G       D/Gb     G Am7 Em7
The insane locked up in themselves… the homeless down on Main
    C                  D                 Bm7              C
To those who stand on empty shores… and spit against the wind
     Am        G/B    C*                                  G
And those who wait fore-ver…   For Ships That Don't Come In
 
[Outro]
     Am7       G/B    C*                                     G
And those who wait fore----ver…   For Ships That Don't Come In
 
G  C  Cm  G  G  C  Cm  G*
