Verse Em C It was upon row of houses, tight skirts and baggy trousers Bm Grey men and cheap disguises, 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 C How? You know how... Sleep to love and the sand runs out Bm So close to midnight Em C Bm Time to fly, Do or die, stung in the headlights Chorus Em C Here we lie, high and dry Bm The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes Em C Say goodnight, kill the light Bm Em The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild Verse Em For two years he tried to reach her C Worshiped the ground beneath her Bm She, she was always running... 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 Em Head down against the fire... Now, now, now the table turns Em C She won't learn, sleep to love and your bed starts burning Bm So close to midnight Em C Bm Idlewild you don't know if you never need to Chorus Em C Here we lie, high and dry Bm The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes Em C Say goodnight, kill the light Bm Em C Bm The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild Verse Em I thought that we were good together C I thought that we could weather the weather Bm Whether or not the wise the wherefores Bm 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 as sea is Bm Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us Bm Lay it on the banks to rot and fester Em Now a skeleton is like a death star C And Gretna Green and Derby, Manchester Bm I don't want to hear it now Chorus Em C Here we lie, High and dry Bm The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes Em C Say goodnight, kill the light Bm Em C Bm The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild Em C BmEm Kill the light, Idlewild...
