Florence And The Machine - Only If For A Night

this is my first time learning a song by ear so i’m not 100% sure of these chords .
the timing is a little weird in this song so i tried to position the chords as
accurately as possible .
enjoy!

C Am
and i had a dream
C G
about my old school
C Am C G
and she was there all pink and gold and glittery
C Am
i threw my arms around her legs
C G C Am
came to weeping , came to weeping
C Am
came to weeping , came to weeping

C Am
then i heard your voice as clear as day ,
C G C Am
and you told me i should concentrate ,
C G
it was all so strange ,
C Am
and so surreal ,
C G C Am
that a ghost should be so practical .

C G
only if for a night
C Am C G
and the only solution was to stand and fight ,
C Am
and my body was loosened ,
C G
i almost saved your life ,
C Am
but you came over me like some holy life ,
C G C
and i know the whole story ,
Am
you’re the only light
C G
only if for a night

C Am C G
the grass was so green against my new clothes ,
C Am C G
and i did cartwheels in your honour , dancing on tiptoes
C Am C G
my own secret ceremonials before the service began ,
C Am C G
in the graveyard , doing handstands .

C Am
then i heard your voice as clear as day ,
C G C Am
and you told me i should concentrate ,
C G
it was all so strange ,
C Am
and so surreal ,

that a ghost should be so practical .

only if for a night
C Am C G
and the only solution was to stand and fight ,
C Am
and my body was loosened ,
C G
i almost saved your life ,
C Am
but you came over me like some holy life ,
C G C
and i know the whole story ,
Am
you’re the only light
C G
only if for a night

C G
my darling , my dear , my darling ,
F
tell me what all this sighing’s about ,
F F F F
tell me what all this sighing’s about .

C Am
then i heard your voice as clear as day ,
C G C Am
and you told me i should concentrate ,
C G
it was all so strange ,
C Am
and so surreal ,
C G C Am
that a ghost should be so practical .

C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G
only if for a night
C Am
yeyeyeye – yeyeyeye – ahhaaaoooh .
C G

C Am C G to the end
