Clockwork Cifras

[Verse]
F               Am        F
There is glass between our touch,
F               Am       A#
phantom limbs of former love...
A#            F        A#   Am   Gm F
and the truth is that I am so terrified
 
F                  Am      F
that the callous is deeper than
F       Am         F
the surface of our skin
A#           Am    F      A#
and it takes us twice as long,
    Am    F           Gm  F C
it takes us twice as long
     F
to heal.
 
F                Am        F
we'll lift up the ground to see
F            Am       F
the system of roots beneath.
       Am          A#
gears turn, endlessly,
             Am            A#
to bring the world back to life
          C          F
like clockwork, when it dies.
 
F             Am        F
the cadence of beating hearts,
F               Am     F
the click of its moving parts
F               A#
grows louder and louder
F        Am        A#
from this restless earth...
 
 A#  F   F   Am        Am      A#
future gardens wait patiently below
    Am                 A#
and somehow we smell them
   C                  F
blossom through the snow.
 
F       Am     F
still unsatisfied,
F            Am       F
we chase what we're denied.
F     Am        F
as generations wait,
F         Am       A#       Am
we can't resist the taste of possibility.
A#    Am            F
gears turn, endlessly,
            Am           A#
to bring us back to life again.
         C        F
like clockwork, we begin.
