Clockwork chords by Sleeping At Last

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.
