[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 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 Bm Until the devil put his seed inside her Em C How? You know how... 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
[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 turning 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 too long 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 whys, the wherefores Bm 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 it Bm Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us Bm And lay it on the banks to rot and fester Em And smell it like a death star C In Gretna Green, 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 Bm Em Kill the light, Idlewild...
