From Travis withe the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barrowlands http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07cz6jg

[Verse]
E minorEm              C majorC
It was upon row of houses, tight skirts and baggy trousers
B minorBm
Grey men and cheap disguises, 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          C majorC
How? You know how... Sleep to love and the sand runs out
B minorBm
So close to midnight
E minorEm      C majorC      B minorBm
Time to fly, Do or die, stung in the headlights

[Chorus]
E minorEm      C majorC
Here we lie, high and dry
B minorBm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
E minorEm       C majorC
Say goodnight, kill the light
B minorBm                     E minorEm
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild

[Verse]
E minorEm
For two years he tried to reach her
C majorC
Worshiped the ground beneath her
B minorBm
She, she was always running... 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                           E minorEm
Head down against the fire... Now, now, now the table turns
E minorEm        C majorC
She won't learn, sleep to love and your bed starts burning
B minorBm
So close to midnight
E minorEm    C majorC         B minorBm
Idlewild you don't know if you never need to

[Chorus]
E minorEm      C majorC
Here we lie, high and dry
B minorBm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
E minorEm       C majorC
Say goodnight, kill the light
B minorBm                     E minorEm   C majorC  B minorBm
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild

[Verse]
E minorEm
I thought that we were good together
C majorC
I thought that we could weather the weather
B minorBm
Whether or not the wise the wherefores
B minorBm
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 as sea is
B minorBm
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
B minorBm
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester
E minorEm
Now a skeleton is like a death star
C majorC
And Gretna Green and Derby, Manchester
B minorBm
I don't want to hear it now

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