[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]

[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 A Dm D
