Grasshopper Clock

G

[Verse]

G                          C              G
Ants in the sugar bowl are something to behold
C              G               D
Shining in the silverware like little specks of gold
G                                  C            Cm
Milling through the sweetness like bees in honeycomb
       G                              D                G
You'll put it in your tea when we can bring some money home

[Verse]

G                C          G
Pendulum swings, energy's unlocked
C                 G              D
Counting down the seconds like a grasshopper clock
G                           C               Cm
Down by the river where the water meets the dock
      G                           D           G
We're rowing in the rhythm of the grasshopper clock

[Bridge]

Am           D             G                F#
When I see a lovely flower I can't help but pick it
Am               D              F             N.C.
When you look to me for answers all you get is...crickets

[Verse]

G               C              G
Stone on stone, brick upon the block
C               G              D
Munching up the minutes like a grasshopper clock
G                  C             Cm
Wings take flight, people take a walk
    G                          D           G
And end up all together at the grasshopper clock

[Chorus]

G         C              G              D
I saw the sky today, the colors made me feel so lowly
G         C                G             D       G
I saw the world outside my window below, turning slowly

[Bridge]

Am           D               G                 F#
When I see a perfect surface then I'll want to nick it
Am              D             F             N.C.
When you ask me for solutions all you get is...crickets

[Verse]

G                     C              G
Heartbeats start like small electric shocks
C                 G              D
Going through the motions like a grasshopper clock
G           C                 Cm
Round I go, on your door I'll knock
       G                         D           G
Saying meet me in an hour at the grasshopper clock

[Chorus]

G            C             G                 D
The world passeth away and lust thereof will vanish with it
G                C                G               D        G
They'll say it's for the best but I will miss it, yes I'll miss it

[Bridge]

Am           D             G              F#
When I see a puddle then I always want to kick it
Am             D         F              N.C.
When I try out new ideas all I get it is...

[Chorus]

(Sung as a round)
G                C
The world     passeth away and
Pendulum swings, energy's unlocked
G                                D
Lust thereof will                vanish with it
Counting down the seconds like a grasshopper clock
G                C
They'll say it's for the best but
Round I go,      on your door I'll knock, saying
G                         D           G
I will miss it,           yes I'll    miss it
Meet me in an hour at the grasshopper clock
G                C
I saw the        sky today
Pendulum swings, energy's unlocked
G                                D
The colors made me               feel so lonely
Counting down the seconds like a grasshopper clock
G           C
I saw the   world outside my
Round I go, on your door I'll knock, saying
G                         N.C.
Window below,             turning slowly
Meet me in an hour at the grasshopper clock
