tom: G 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 Bm Em C Idlewild Bm Idlewild 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 Em C Idlewild Bm Idlewild Em Kill the light C Bm Idlewild
