"Only If For a Nigh" by "Florence and the machine"

Capo 6

Em          C           Em    D    
And I had a dream,    about my old school, 
Bm    C                                                    Em D
     And she was there all pink and gold and glittering. 
                Em                C
I threw my arms around her legs, 
              Em    D                  Bm      C                       Em D
Came to weeping, (came to weeping), came to weeping, (came to weeping).

Em           C
And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
Em       D               Bm       C
  And you told me I should concentrate, 
Em       D
It was all so strange, 
Em   C 
 And so surreal, 
          Em             D            Bm    C
That a ghost should be so practical.

Em  D
Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight, 
And my body was bruised and 
I was set alight, 
But you came over me like some holy rite, 
And although I was burning, 
You're the only light 
Only if for a night

The grass was so green against my new clothes, 
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes 
My own secret ceremonials before the service began, 
In the graveyard, doing handstands.

And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
And you told me I should concentrate, 
It was all so strange, 
And so surreal, 
That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night. 
And the only solution was to stand and fight, 
And my body was bruised and 
I was set alight, 
But you came over me like some holy rite,

And although I was burning, 
You're the only light. 
Only if for a night.

Ooohh, 
Oooohhh, 
Woah-woah-woah. 
                                    Em D
My doe, my dear, my darling, 
                                  C
Tell me what all this sighing's about, 
    C         C              C           C
Tell me what all this sighing's about. 
                             
And I heard your voice as clear as day, 
And you told me I should concentrate, 
It was all so strange, 
And so surreal, 
That a ghost should be so practical.

Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night. 
Yeyeyeye-yeyeyeye-ahhaaaoooh. 
Only if for a night
