Sleeping at Last – Clockwork (Guitar)

C#               Fm
There is glass between our touch, 

C#               Fm
phantom limbs of former love...

F#            Fm      F#   Fm     Ebm   C#
and the truth is that I am so terrified 

C#                  Fm
that the callous is deeper than 

C#          Fm      F#
the surface of our skin

F#           Fm          F#
and it takes us twice as long, 

        Fm           Ebm         C#
it takes us twice as long to heal. 

C#                Fm
we'll lift up the ground to see 

C#            Fm       F#
the system of roots beneath. 

       Fm          F#
gears turn, endlessly, 

             Fm            F#
to bring the world back to life 

          Ebm           C#
like clockwork, when it dies. 

C#             Fm
the cadence of beating hearts, 

C#               Fm
the click of its moving parts 

F#               Ebm
grows louder and louder 

F#        Fm       F#
from this restless earth... 

Fm        F#          Fm      F#
future gardens wait patiently below 

        Fm           F#      Ebm
and somehow we smell them blossom

            C# 
through the snow. 

C#       Fm
still unsatisfied, 

C#            Fm
we chase what we're denied. 

C#     Fm
as generations wait, 

C#         Fm       F#       Fm
we can't resist the taste of possibility. 

F#    Fm            F#
gears turn, endlessly,

            Fm           F# 
to bring us back to life again.

          Ebm       C# 
like clockwork, we begin.
