[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm
Wake to the creaks and groans
Bb
Of the motors and the masts
On the sovereign sea
Dm
Trinkets of shrieking bone
Bb
Tainted tokens of a past
Come to trouble me
[Bridge]
G F
Out of time I go running
C Dm
As you’re running out of time
G F
Storming forth I return from the nothing
C Dm
I am back to reclaim what’s mine
[Verse]
Dm
Cast into darkest voids
Bb
Ever waiting for the chime
Of the hand at two
Dm
Clots of a heart destroyed
Bb
Circulating in the blind
As they stand with you
[Bridge]
G F
Out of time I go running
C Dm
As you’re running out of time
G F
Storming forth I return from the nothing
C Dm
I am back to reclaim what’s mine
[Chorus]
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
Bb G D
Time will open the doors
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
F G D
I’m coming back to the fore
F G D
Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
[Interlude]
F E Eb D
F E Eb A
F E Eb D
Clockworks click and they clink within
F E Eb A
Locks and riddles of rings will spin
F E Eb D
Cogwheels linking the springs and pins
F E A
The walls are closing in
F E Eb D
F E A
[Bridge]
G F C D x2
G F
And I have been to some bad, bad places
C D
Taken gifts at the darkest shrines
G F
I have seen despair in the saddest faces
C D
Now I’m back to reclaim what’s mine
[Chorus](w/ single strokes)
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
Bb G D
Time will open the doors
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
F G D
I’m coming back to the fore
F G D
Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
[Chorus]
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
Bb G D
Time will open the doors
Bb G
Keep the clocks a running
D
Keep every hammer drumming
F G D
I’m coming back to the fore
F G D
Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
F G D
There’s a whalesong drifting over the shores
F G D
Set the wheels I’m coming back to the fore
[Outro]
F G D x2
