Tom: Em
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
