[Verse]
EmIt was upon row of houses, tiCght skirts and baggy trousers
BmGrey men and cheap disguises, high hopes and higher rises
EmThere lived a girl who was on a mission
CThere lived a boy who was under suspicion
BmTried hard to stay beside her
BmUntil the devil put his seed inside her
EmHow? You know how... CSleep too long and the sand runs out
BmSo close to midnight
EmTime to fly, Cdo or die, sBmtung in the headlights
[Chorus]
EmHere we lie, hCigh and dry
BmThe world will never see you till you open your eyes
EmSay goodnight, kCill the light
BmThe world will never hear you tonight, IdlewEmild
[Verse]
EmFor two years he tried to reach her
CWorshiped the ground beneath her
BmShe, she was always running... He, he saw the end was coming
EmBut now the story takes a turning
CShe wakes up and her sheets are burning
BmHead down against the fire... Now, now, now the table tEmurns
EmShe won't learn, sCleep too long and your bed starts burning
BmSo close to midnight
EmIdlewild yCou don't know if yBmou never need to
[Chorus]
EmHere we lie, hCigh and dry
BmThe world will never see you till you open your eyes
EmSay goodnight, kCill the light
BmThe world will never hear you tonight, IdlewEmild... CIdlewBmild
[Verse]
EmI thought that we were good together
CI thought that we could weather the weather
BmWhether or not the whys, the wherefores
BmHigh hopes are only there because, because
EmBecause I thought the only thing between us
CWas something shallow, not a river so deep we see it
BmDredge up the wreckage our parents left us
BmAnd lay it on the banks to rot and fester
EmAnd smell it like a death star
CIn Gretna Green, Derby, Manchester
BmI don't want to hear it now
[Chorus]
EmHere we lie, HCigh and dry
BmThe world will never see you till you open your eyes
EmSay goodnight, kCill the light
BmThe world will never hear you tonight, IdlewEmild..C. IdlewiBmld
EmKill the light, ICdlewild..Bm. Em
