C         D/C         C
 
 
[Verse]
             D/C
Came to your border
Em                    C
Looking back into the night
Am             G        F                Am
   Falling down  on the city lights far away
Em         C                D7
                Tell me the answer
 
[Verse]
Em                           C
Who knows the wrong from the right?
Am           G        F
   Years may come and years they go
You've seen your bridges burning
D7
  And the wheels of time keep turning
 
[Chorus]
Em         F
  Like a ship in the night
    C/G       E7/G#                   Am
You passed along   the highways of my life
    Am/G      F                C    Csus  C
And now my mind you're always in
 
Em            F
  And the ten-thirty flight
     C/G              E/G#
will soon be headed my    way
            Am     C/G     F           C
As she sails   across the skyway of Berlin
 
[Instrumental]
D/C          C         D/C          [|C]
 
[Verse]
                          D
Thought I heard your bells cry
Em           Bm           C
Bringing the life to your face
Am                  G        F
   The time for tears  has passed away
Can't you see the night is lifting
D7
  And the sands of time are shifting
 
[Chorus]
Em        F
  Like a ship in the night
    C/G              E7/G#            Am
You passed along the highways of my life
    Am/G       F              C   Csus C
And now my mind you're always in
 
Em            F
  And the ten-thirty flight
     C/G              E/G#
will soon be headed my    way
            Am     C/G     F           C
As she sails   across the skyway of Berlin

    Bm              D/A           E7/G#                  G
Ooh,     and reflect   upon the way    it might have been

    And the ten-thirty flight
     D/A              F#/A#
will soon be headed my      way
       Bm        D/A     G             D
As she sails across the skyway of Berlin
