From Travis withe the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barrowlands http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07cz6jg
[Verse]
EmC
It was upon row of houses, tight skirts and baggy trousers
Bm
Grey men and cheap disguises, 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
EmC
How? You know how... Sleep to love and the sand runs out
Bm
So close to midnight
EmCBm
Time to fly, Do or die, stung in the headlights

[Chorus]
EmC
Here we lie, high and dry
Bm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
EmC
Say goodnight, kill the light
BmEm
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild
[Verse]
Em
For two years he tried to reach her
C
Worshiped the ground beneath her
Bm
She, she was always running... He, he saw the end was coming
Em
But now the story takes a turn
C
She wakes up and her sheets are burning
BmEm
Head down against the fire... Now, now, now the table turns
EmC
She won't learn, sleep to love and your bed starts burning
Bm
So close to midnight
EmCBm
Idlewild you don't know if you never need to
[Chorus]
EmC
Here we lie, high and dry
Bm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
EmC
Say goodnight, kill the light
BmEmCBm
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild
[Verse]
Em
I thought that we were good together
C
I thought that we could weather the weather
Bm
Whether or not the wise the wherefores
Bm
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 as sea is
Bm
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us
Bm
Lay it on the banks to rot and fester
Em
Now a skeleton is like a death star
C
And Gretna Green and Derby, Manchester
Bm
I don't want to hear it now
[Chorus]
EmC
Here we lie, High and dry
Bm
The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
EmC
Say goodnight, kill the light
BmEmCBm
The world will never hear you tonight, Idlewild... Idlewild
