[Verse]
D  Dsus4             C             
We travellers on the endless wastes
   Bb            C      
In single orbits gliding
D7                            C   
■  Coldeyed march towards the dawn
D      Bb          D     Dm7    
Behind hardweather hoods ahiding
G       Gsus4  F    G       
Meeting as the tall ships do
Am      F      G      
Passing in the channel
D                  D7     C    
Afraid to chance a gentle touch
Bb                 D    
Afraid to make the clasp
C Am C F

[Chorus]
Em Esus4                 D      C                 D    Esus4
In highrise city canyons dwells the discontent of ages ■    
                                   D C                  D    
On ring roads nose to bumper crawl ■ commuters in their cages
Asus4           Bm7   A           Bm     G      A        
Cryptic signals flash across from pilots in the fast lane
Em           Esus4      D 
Doublelocked and belted in
C                    A    
Too late to make the clasp


[Verse]
Am                 Em                  F      D   
■  Let's break the journey now on some lonely road
Am             Em                     F      G     
■  Sit down as strangers will let the stress unload


[Chorus]
        Am                         Em                
Talk in confidential terms share a dark unspoken fear
D                  C        Am
Refill the cup and drink it up
Bb            Am       F        
Say goodnight and wish good luck


[Inst]
Ab Bb Bb7 G D

          D                                                 
Synthetic chiefs with frozen smiles holding unsteady courses
         Dsus4    C       Bb                         
Grip the reins of history high on their battle horses


[Chorus]
Asus4               Bm7       G A 
And meeting as good statesmen ■ do
           Bm G       A       
Before the TV eyes of millions
Em      Esus4 Em           D  
Hand to hand  exchange the lie
Em         C        Em   
Pretend to make the clasp
D G Em D A G Em D
