Idlewild (feat. Josephine Oniyama)

	  		Intro Em  C  Bm 
        Em  C  Bm 

Em 
It was upon a row of houses 
C 
Tight skirts and baggy trousers 
Bm 
Green men and cheap disguises 
Bm 
High hopes and higher rises 
Em 
Who lived a girl who was on a mission 
C 
Who lived a boy who was under suspicion 
Bm 
Tried hard to stay beside her 
Bm 
Until the devil put his seed inside her 

Em 
How? 
Em 
You know how 
C 
Sleep to love and the sand runs out 
Bm 
So close to midnight 
Em 
Time to fly 
C 
Do or die 
Bm 
Stoned in the headlights 

Em 
Here we lie 
C 
High and dry 
Bm 
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 
Em 
Say goodnight 
C 
Kill the light 
Bm 
The world will never hear you tonight 
Idlewild 

Em 
For two years he tried to reach her 
C 
Worshiped the ground beneath her 
Bm 
She, she was always running 
Bm 
He, he saw the end was coming 
Em 
But now the story takes a turn 
C 
She wakes up and her sheets are burning 
Bm 
Head down against the fire 
Bm 
Now, now, now the table turns 

Em 
She won't learn 
C 
Sleep to love and your bed starts burning 
Bm 
So close to midnight 
Em 
Idlewild  
C 
You don't know 
Bm 
You never need to 

Em 
Here we lie 
C 
High and dry 
Bm 
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 
Em 
Say goodnight 
C 
Kill the light 
Bm 
The world will never hear you tonight

Em 
I thought that we were good together
 
hide this tab
 
C 
I thought that we could weather the weather
 
Bm 
Whether or not that wise is the word for us 
That high hopes are only there because, because 

Em 
Because I thought the only thing between us 
C 
Was something shallow not a river so deep (we see us) 
Bm 
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us 
Bm 
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester 
Em 
Now it's (scarlet and) hanging like a death star 
C                                 Bm 
And Gretna Green dark and Manchester 
Bm 
I don't want to hear it now 

Em 
Here we lie 
C 
High and dry 
Bm 
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 
Em 
Say goodnight  
C 
Kill the light 
Bm 
The world will never hear you tonight

Kill the light
