                  Only If For A Night - Florence & the Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: scarlberg

Tuning: Capo 1


Verse
   Am    F
And I had a dream
Am   G                  Em
About my old school
F                                                  Am        G
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
Am   F     
I threw my arms around her legs
Am  G                  Em  F         
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
Am    G
Came to weeping (came to weeping)

Chorus
Am     F
And I heard your voice
F
As clear as day
Am      G                         Em    F             
And you told me I should concentrate
Am      G
It was all so strange
Am        F
And so surreal
Am      G           Em     F
That a ghost should be so practical
N.C
Only if for a night

Am       F                              Am          G
And the only solution was to stand and fight
Em        F                              Am          G
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
Am        F                              Am          G
But you came over me like some holy rite
Em          F                    
And although I was burning, you're the only light
 Am       G
Only if for a night


Verse
   Am    F                                                 Am   G    
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
              Em - F
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Am   G
Dancing on tiptoes
Am   F     
My own secret ceremonials
Am  G                  
Before the service began
Em  F                           Am    G
In the graveyard doing handstands

Chorus
Am     F
And I heard your voice
F
As clear as day
Am      G                         Em    F             
And you told me I should concentrate
Am      G
It was all so strange
Am        F
And so surreal
N.C
That a ghost should be so practical
N.C
Only if for a night

Am       F                              Am          G
And the only solution was to stand and fight
Em        F                              Am          G
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
Am        F                              Am          G
But you came over me like some holy rite
Em          F                    
And although I was burning, you're the only light
 Am       G
Only if for a night

Bridge
C         Em   G   
C          G     

Am
Madam, my dear, my darling
F
Tell me what all the sighing's about
Dm                                           G
Tell me what all the sighing's about

Chorus
Am     F
And I heard your voice
F
As clear as day
Am      G                         Em    F             
And you told me I should concentrate
Am      G
It was all so strange
Am        F
And so surreal
Am      G           Em     F
That a ghost should be so practical



Am  G                      Am    F    
Only if for a night (Yaaa yaaa yaaa)
Am  G                      Em  F
Only if for a night (Yaaa yaaa yaaa)


Am   G                        Am    F   
Only if for a night (Yaaa yaaa yaaa)
 Am    G                      Em   F 
Only if for a night (Yaaa yaaa yaaa)
