Travis - Idlewild (feat. Josephine Oniyama): Guitar Chords

Em
It was upon row of houses,
C
tight skirts and baggy trousers
Bm
Grey men and cheap disguises,
high hopes and higher rises
Em
There lived a girl who was on a mission
C
There lived a boy who was under suspicion
Bm
Tried hard to stay beside her
Until the devil put his seed inside her
Em
How? You know how...
C
Sleep too long 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

For two years he tried to reach her
Worshiped the ground beneath her
She, she was always running
He, he saw the end was coming
But now the story takes a turn
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
Head down against the fire
Now, now, now the table turns
She won't learn
Sleep to love and your bed starts burning
So close to midnight
Idlewild you don't know
You never need to

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

I thought that we were good together
I thought that we could weather the weather
Whether or not the whys, the wherefores
The high hopes were only there because, because,
Because I thought the only thing between us
Was something shallow now a river so deep we see it
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
And lay it on the banks to rot and fester
And now I smell it hanging like a death star,
In Gretna Green, Derby, Manchester
I don't want to hear it now

Chorus:
Here we lie
High and dry
The world will never see you
'til you open your eyes
Say goodnight, kill the light
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild
Idlewild
Kill the light
Idlewild...
