Rest in a dance for millions, primal now - more adventure

Go conjure up behind a shade, you got a while for adventure

CHORUS:

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

G Em7

In the map of the world go the twists of fate

Am7 C D G

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

Go curl up inside a shadow, go dumb now - eat the light

And soak it up - gorgeous vista, ground vertigo - to be nameless

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

Am7 C D

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

G

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

G G/F

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

G G/F G

Shine, shine, in the lap of the Gods

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

Shine up, shine up, shine
