Captains & Cruise Ships (cover)

This is my cover of Captains & Cruise Ships by Owl City. It's a little repetitive, but I really like it. Sorry about the zombie glare at the end; I'm still terrible at knowing what to do with my face, especially during instrumental interludes. Regardless, I hope you enjoy this at least a little bit.

I am stuck in L.A.
Through the week and can't get away.
And you're alone on the pier
In West Palm Beach on your holiday.

Stormy nights reawake the stomache ache
That I've acquired
From feeling down; things look grim
And I'm so sick of being tired.

Apartment lights go dark,
And it's depressing, but what can I do?
The midnight streets feel dead
When I am so used to driving with you.

Brighter lights fill the night
And bluer skies reflect in your eyes
As I inspect and analyze
All of these dreams I don't recognize.

If you're still up when the ships
In the port prepare to set sail,
Then comb the beach and put those blue
Flowers up in your ponytail.

Inside my head your voice
Is still resounding, but what can I do?
The empty rooms feel cold
When I am so used to being with you.

Count the stars, watch the waves
Absorb the summer sun and think of me
When you explore hidden coves
And tiny island chains throughout the sea.

Can you still hear my voice
When I'm outside from over the phone?
For what it's worth, darling dear,
I wish you were here 'cause I feel alone.

When you were home we'd sing,
But since you've left, I don't hear anything.
And though I feel so sad,
I can't believe things are really that bad.

Old captains and brand new cruise ships
Sailing over the briny sea
When I crash my beloved desk job
And swim through the debris.

I'll cut loose and leave this madhouse
All for the Atlantic blue.
I'll stroll down your tree-lined driveway
And sail the ocean with you.

@heathbicknell I came up with my own chords for it, but you can still find them on Ultimate-Guitar. There's a few other versions there too, in case you don't like mine. Mostly, though, this song is just G, D, Am, C. Then the chorus is just C and D.
