Em I'm going to sing a song called, The Girl Who Was On A Mission.
Once upon a world of
C houses, tight skirts and baggy
Bm trousers,.
gray men in cheap disguises, high hopes and high
Em horizons.
They left a girl who was on a mission,
C they left a boy who was under
Bm suspicion.
Tried hard to stay beside her, but until the devil put his feet inside
Em her.
You know how, you know
C how, sometimes the sun runs
Bm out, so close to midnight.
Em The time flies,
C you won't die,
Bm _ stung in the headlight.
_
Em Here we lie, _
C high and dry,
Bm the world will never see you till you open your eyes.
Em _ _ .
Say goodnight,
C kill the light,
Bm the world will never hear you tonight.
I
Em don't want to.
For two years he tried to reach
C her, worship the ground beneath
Bm her.
She, she was always running, he, he saw the end was
Em coming.
But now the story takes a
C turning, she wakes up
Em and her sheets are burning.
Bm Head down against the fire, now, now, now the table
Em turns.
She won't
C really sleep till all of your bed starts
Bm burning, so close to midnight.
_
Em I don't want
C to.
You don't know me,
Bm _ you never would need to.
_
Em Here we lie,
C high and dry,
Bm the world will never see you till you open your eyes.
Em Say _ goodnight,
C kill the light,
Bm the world will never hear you tonight.
I don't
Em want to.
_
C _ I don't
Bm want to.
_ _ _ _ _ I thought
G that we were good together, I thought
Am that we could weather the weather.
Bm Weather enough, the wise don't wear clothes.
The high hopes are only there because,
Em because, because I thought the only thing between
C us.
was something shallow, not river so deep
Bm we see us.
Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us, and lay it on the banks of the Roanoke
Em Vestige.
And now it's gone hanging like a death
C star, in great new green in Darby,
Bm Manchester.
_ _ .
_ I don't want to feel
Em bad.
Here we lie,
C high and dry,
Bm the world will never see you till you open your eyes.
Em Say goodnight,
C kill the light,
Bm the world will never hear you tonight.
I
Em don't want to.

C _ _ I

Em the light.
