NB. Some of the more complex chords have had their names abbreviated.
Fingerings shown in brackets.
INTRO:
C (x32010) D+4 (x54030) Bm6 (x24030) C
VERSE 1: (chords as for intro)
Clamour drowning, skin flinching, language is a curse to be nameless
Rest in a dance for millions, primal now - more adventure
Go conjure up behind a shade, you got a while for adventure
CHORUS:
G (320003) Em7 (022030)
In the lap of the Gods, in the twists of fate
Am7 (x02010) C D (xx0232)
There's a map of the world in the turning of the cloudlight
G Em7
In the map of the world go the twists of fate
Am7 C D G
In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here
VERSE 2:
Go curl up inside a shadow, go dumb now - eat the light
And soak it up - gorgeous vista, ground vertigo - to be nameless
CHORUS (as before, without final G chord)
BRIDGE:
G5 (355xxx) G7 (353xxx) Cm/G (365xxx) C5/G (335xxx)
G5 G7 Cm/G
C D+4
Go rest in a dance for millions
Bm6 C D
You got a while for adventures in real time
CHORUS (as before)
OUTRO:
G Em7/G (322030)
In the map of the world there's a twisted face
Am7 C D
In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here
G
There's a desert behind and the speeding shadows push me further
G/F (120003) G G/F
In the cushion of the grass, in the soup of the harbour
G G/F
In the glisten of the tar seal draped in the saddle of the hill
G G/F G
Shine, shine, in the lap of the Gods
G/F G G/F G (to fade)
Shine up, shine up, shine
