A Tight Ship
David Gray
A terrific song released this January (2019). This is based off the Radio Edit. It starts off in the key of C but it keeps changing. I’ve tried to line up the lyrics with the chord changes. The suspended chords are optional; to my ear the seconds sound nice as a stepping note but it also sounds fine without them. Let me know if I’ve missed anything and I’ll update it [verse] 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 And sing it like Ab Absus2 Db A mountain stream 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 Now sleek to dive Ab Absus2 Db In mirr - ored pools To dance like no-one sees [verse] (no lyrics for some lines) C Csus2 F C Csus2 F C Csus2 F Now sleek to dive Bb Bbsus2 Eb In mirrored pools Ab Absus2 Db 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 We’ll go defenceless 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 We’ll dance like no-one sees Dance like no-one sees We’ll dance like no......... one sees [outro] So sleek to dive in mirrored pools In mirrored pools (so sleek to dive) And dance like no-one sees Dance like no-one sees We’ll dance like no......... one sees
