Clutching At The Dark Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]You always said you'd [G]turn
your hand to the [D]task
[Bm]Grasp the ropes and [G]reel them in
And [D]pin your hopes to [A]the mast
I had [F#m]the flag flying I cut
[G]the slack with you in mind
[D]Was it wis[G]hful thinking,
on your [D]part or mine?
[A]I a[D]lwa[Bm]ys thought you'd
[G]turn your back to [D]the wind
[A]Ope[Bm]n arms, emb[G]race your heart,
[D]against the last hurricane
[A]I had t[F#m]he kite flying
I was [G]ready for the [D]part
[G]I would write the upd[D]raft for
The [F#]sense of something [G]real
So be kind and be [D]calm
I will [F#]keep the curtains [G]drawn
Till the light comes round to [A]find
us clutching at the [D]dark
[A]You [Bm]always seem to [G]hear a howl as I [D]hum
[A]Never [Bm]one to waste[G] your fear
on a [D]fall that might not come
[A]I had the wol[F#m]ves running,
I had [G]the black dog on my [D]tail
[A]I c[G]onvinced myself I'd [D]glimpsed
the [F#]eyes behind [G]the veil
So be kind and be [D]calm,
I [F#]will keep the [F#m]blinker[G]s on
Till the light comes round to [A]find
us clutching at the [D]dark[A]
[Bm]So say n[F#]ow,
that [G]all the signs were [D]there
[A]So [Bm]say n[F#]ow, they serve[G]d us well,
they [Gm]served[D][A][F#][G]
I kept [F#m]the plates spinning,
I kept [G]the faith for year on [D]year
I felt [G]the time ticking and
nothing drawing [D]near
[A]So [G]be kind and [D]be calm
I [F#]will keep you in my [G]arms
Till the light comes round to [A]find us
Clutching at the dark
you
