A Tight Ship

David Gray

key:

     C     Csus2   F
The  bet - ter     then
     C     Csus2   F
To   know  my   -  self
     C     Csus2   F
That fear  be      damned
     Bb    Bbsus2  Eb
And  love  be      wealth
     Bb            Eb
And  sing  it      like
     Ab    Absus2  Db
A    mountain      stream
     Ab         Eb     F
To   dance like no-one sees


[verse]
     C       Csus2   F
That blinked an      eye
     C       Csus2   F
That flashed a       smile
     C       Csus2   F
But  missed  it      by
     Bb     Bbsus2   Eb
A    coun - try      mile
     Bb              Eb
Now  sleek  to       dive
     Ab     Absus2   Db
In   mirr - ored     pools
     Ab         Eb     F
To   dance like no-one sees

(no lyrics for some lines)

     C       Csus2   F
     C       Csus2   F
     C       Csus2   F
Now  sleek   to      dive
     Bb      Bbsus2   Eb
     Bb               Eb
In   mirrored         pools
     Ab      Absus2   Db
     Ab         Eb     F
To   dance like no-one sees


[verse]
      C     Csus2    F
So    seize the      day
      C     Csus2    F
Yeah  aim   it       true
      C     Csus2    F
We'll live  the      way
      Bb    Bbsus2   Eb
That  lov - ers      do
      Bb             Eb
We'll go           defenceless
      Bb             Eb
      Open           wide
      Ab    Absus2   Db
We'll let   the      senses
      Ab    Absus2   Db
      Be    our      guide
      Bb    Bbsus2   Eb
We'll break the      surface
      Bb    Bbsus2   Eb
      Snip  these    strings
      Ab    Absus2   Db
      Relearn the    grace
      Ab    Absus2   Db
Of    selfless       things
      Ab         Eb     F
We'll dance like no-one sees
      Ab         Eb     F
      Dance like no-one sees
      Ab         Eb
We'll dance like no.........
F

Dm  Bb  F

            Dm    Bb          F
So sleek to dive      in mirrored pools
            Dm        Bb             F
In mirrored pools (so sleek to dive)
      Ab         Eb     F
And   dance like no-one sees
      Ab         Eb     F
      Dance like no-one sees
      Ab         Eb
We'll dance like no.........
