Clasp
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Gm Csus2/G Eb/G Gm x2
Dm C G Am F x3
[Verse 1]
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D
We travellers on the endless wastes in single orbits, gliding
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D
Cold-eyed march towards the dawn behind hard-weather hoods a-hiding
G F Am G Am F G
Meeting as the tall ships do, passing in the channel
Dm C/D Bb/D Dm
afraid to chance a gentle touch, afraid to make the clasp
[Instrumental]
Dm C G Am F x2
[Verse 2]
Em D C D
In high-rise city canyons dwells the discontent of ages
Em D C D
On ring roads, nose to bumper crawl commuters in their cages
A G Bm A Bm G A
Cryptic signals flash across from pilots in the fast lane
Em D C A
Double-locked and belted in, too late to make the clasp
[Bridge]
Am Em F Dm
Let's break the journey now on some lonely road
Am Em F G
Sit down as strangers will, let the stress unload
Am Em
Talk in confidential terms, share a dark unspoken fear
Dm C Bb F
Refill the cup and drink it up, say goodnight and wish good luck
[Instrumental]
Ab Fm
Bb G/B C A/C# D
[Verse 3]
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D
Synthetic chiefs with frozen smiles holding unsteady courses
Dm C/D Bb/D C/D
Grip the reins of history, high on their battle horses
A G Bm A Bm G A
And meeting as good statesmen do before the T.V. eyes of millions
Em D C Em
hand to hand exchange the lie, pretend to make the clasp
[Instrumental]
Em D A Bm G x3
Em A Dm D
Gm Csus2/G Eb/G Gm
