Idlewild Travis
[Verse]
[Em]It was upon row of houses, ti[C]ght 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
[Em]How? You know how... [C]Sleep to love and the sand runs out
[Bm]So close to midnight
[Em]Time to fly, [C]Do or die, s[Bm]tung in the headlights
[Cborus]
[Em]Here we lie, h[C]igh and dry
[Bm]The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
[Em]Say goodnight, k[C]ill the light
[Bm]The world will never hear you tonight, Idlew[Em]ild
[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
[Bm]Head down against the fire... Now, now, now the table t[Em]urns
[Em]She won't learn, s[C]leep to love and your bed starts burning
[Bm]So close to midnight
[Em]Idlewild y[C]ou don't know if y[Bm]ou never need to
[Cborus]
[Em]Here we lie, h[C]igh and dry
[Bm]The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
[Em]Say goodnight, k[C]ill the light
[Bm]The world will never hear you tonight, Idlew[Em]ild... [C]Idlew[Bm]ild
[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
[Cborus]
[Em]Here we lie, H[C]igh and dry
[Bm]The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes
[Em]Say goodnight, k[C]ill the light
[Bm]The world will never hear you tonight, Idlew[Em]ild..[C]. Idlewi[Bm]ld
[Em]Kill the light, I[C]dlewild..[Bm]. [Em]
