Idlewild (feat. Josephine Oniyama) chords by Travis

Chords with lyrics

Intro E minorEm C majorC B minorBm
    E minorEm C majorC B minorBm

E minorEm
It was upon a row of houses
C majorC
Tight skirts and baggy trousers
B minorBm
Green men and cheap disguises
B minorBm
High hopes and higher rises
E minorEm
Who lived a girl who was on a mission
C majorC
Who lived a boy who was under suspicion
B minorBm
Tried hard to stay beside her
B minorBm
Until the devil put his seed inside her

E minorEm
How?
E minorEm
You know how
C majorC
Sleep to love and the sand runs out
B minorBm
So close to midnight
E minorEm
Time to fly
C majorC
Do or die
B minorBm
Stoned in the headlights

E minorEm
Here we lie
C majorC
High and dry
B minorBm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
E minorEm
Say goodnight
C majorC
Kill the light
B minorBm
The world will never hear you tonight
Idlewild

E minorEm
For two years he tried to reach her
C majorC
Worshiped the ground beneath her
B minorBm
She, she was always running
B minorBm
He, he saw the end was coming
E minorEm
But now the story takes a turn
C majorC
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
B minorBm
Head down against the fire
B minorBm
Now, now, now the table turns

E minorEm
She won't learn
C majorC
Sleep to love and your bed starts burning
B minorBm
So close to midnight
E minorEm
Idlewild
C majorC
You don't know
B minorBm
You never need to

E minorEm
Here we lie
C majorC
High and dry
B minorBm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
E minorEm
Say goodnight
C majorC
Kill the light
B minorBm
The world will never hear you tonight
B minorBm  E minorEm C majorC
Idlewild
   B minorBm
Idlewild

 E minorEm
I thought that we were good together
 C majorC
I thought that we could weather the weather
B minorBm
Whether or not that wise is the word for us
That high hopes are only there because, because

E minorEm
Because I thought the only thing between us
C majorC
Was something shallow not a river so deep (we see us)
B minorBm
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
B minorBm
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester
E minorEm
Now it's (scarlet and) hanging like a death star
C majorC                 B minorBm
And Gretna Green dark and Manchester
B minorBm
I don't want to hear it now

E minorEm
Here we lie
C majorC
High and dry
B minorBm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
E minorEm
Say goodnight
C majorC
Kill the light
B minorBm
The world will never hear you tonight
   E minorEm C majorC
Idlewild
   B minorBm
Idlewild
     E minorEm
Kill the light
C majorC     B minorBm
Idlewild
