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

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

In the map of the world go the twists of fate

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)

G5 (355xxx) G7 (353xxx) Cm/G (365xxx) C5/G (335xxx)

C D+4

Go rest in a dance for millions

You got a while for adventures in real time

CHORUS (as before)

G Em7/G (322030)

In the map of the world there's a twisted face

In the lap of the Gods, in the turning of the cloudlight here

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

In the glisten of the tar seal draped in the saddle of the hill

Shine, shine, in the lap of the Gods

G/F G G/F G (to fade)

Shine up, shine up, shine
