Nightingale

	  		

Verse
 
              E                     Abm 
And I will flail under these lights, 
      E                                             Abm 
that seep down from the bitter sky tonight 
        F#      E                  F#  Abm 
and I will kick and beat my wrists together 
             F# E                                 F# Abm                   F# 
and feel an ocean breathing waves,   feel them licking at my face. 
E                                 F# Abm 
Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me. 
F#         E                                   Abm           F# 
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen? 



E         B            F#       Abm     F#       E 
  And I hope, your majesty that you like your position. 
        B             F#     Abm     F#       E 
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side 
           B                  F#           Abm     F#     E 
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom. 
       B              F# 
Just kiss me before I go

E                F# Abm                   F# E 
  I'll have to walk a thousand miles 
      F# Abm                             F#  E 
just to find the ground deserving of your feet. 
                           F# Abm          F#  E 
You could throw me down and walk on me 
             Abm                      F#

Bridge 

E              Abm                  E 
 The nightingales are singing now 
        Abm      F#     E               Abm                 E 
They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees 
            Abm     F#                      E 
Their jewellery is thrown into the air 
                             Abm                            E 
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground 
                      Abm                 F# 
The trumpets call out now, we're home at last 



E         B            F#       Abm     F#       E 
  And I hope, your majesty that you like your position. 
        B             F#     Abm     F#       E 
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side 
           B                  F#           Abm     F#     E 
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom. 
       B              F# 
Just kiss me before I go
