Idonia Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I saw you on [A]the market,
[G]stand[A]ing by [D]the phone
[G]With your hair as [D]dark as this,
how [E]could you be [G]alone
All the ghosts [A]in love with you,
[D]they craned their sorry [G]necks
[D]Like a Vien[A]nese machine that's
[G]just [A]discovered sex
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]When I saw you [A]on the bridge,
you [G]had [A]to look [D]away
[G]If I thought [D]to follow you,
I'd [E]just get in the [G]way
Reaching for [A]eternity,
[D]reaching for a [G]chair
[D]Reaching for [A]the woman who is
[G]nev[A]er even [D]there, [G]boys
[A]Never even [D]there

[Verse 3]
[D]
When I saw [A]your fingers folded
[G]round [A]your al[D]batross
[G]Staring through [D]the kitchen wall
at [E]everything [G]you've lost
Losing comes [A]so easily when
[D]you acquire [G]the taste
[D]Life is long and [A]life is lost and
[G]life is [A]such a [D]waste, [G]boys
[A]Life is just a [D]waste

[Verse 4]
[D]See the wrinkles [A]in my hand,
I [G]am [A]the lizard's [D]son
Wait[G]ing for the [D]alchemist to
[E]touch me with [G]the sun
When I saw your [A]photograph,
I [D]knew we'd never [G]meet
[D]You [A]were called Idonia, and [G]I
[A]stayed in [D]the street, [G]boys
[A]I stayed in the s[D]treet

[Verse 5]
[D]
When I saw your [A]eyes were closed,
that [G]was [A]the best thing [D]yet
[G]Then you drove [D]a caravan
[E]across this flimsy [G]set
Crushed beneath [A]your wheels still,
my [D]heart goes beating [G]on
[D]Beating for[A] Idonia and eve[G]rything she[A]'s done,[D]
[G]boy
[A]Everything she's [D]done

[Verse 6]
[D]When I saw [A]your pharaoh coming,
[G]handsome [A]gypsy lad[D]
[G]With his mem[D]ory still wet
from [E]all the fun he [G]had
Funny how [A]your ceiling is some
[D]body else's flo[G]or
[D]Feeling [A]for Ido[G]nia beside
[A]a market [D]store, [G]boys
Who [A]won't be back [D]no more
