"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
