The Editors ? Papillon - Correct version
Listen to the exact rhythm on youtube or on CD
Riff 1 (version 1 - easy for the right hand)
Riff 1 (version 2 - easy for the left hand)
except for Bm, placed the left in the default position for each chord:
Riff 1 (Album version)
Riff 2 (Chorus)
C G D/C (place C-chord but 2 frets higher)
Lyrics: (chord positions as accurate as possible, may not be 100% good)
Strophe 1: Riff 1 in the version of your choice
Make our escape, you're my own papillon.
World turns too fast, feel love before it's gone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
etc.
My papillon, feel love when it's shone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Chorus: Riff 2
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet.
if there really was a God here,
He would have raised a hand by now.
C etc.
Now darling, you're born, get old and die here.
Well, that's quite enough for me.
We'll find our own way home somehow.
C/D Em (Riff 1)
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Strophe 2:
No sense of doubt or what you could achieve.
Well, I've found you out, I've seen the life you wish to leave,
But it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Chorus:
Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet.
If there really was a God here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, well, you're born, get old and die here.
Well that's quite enough for me, dear.
We'll find our own home somehow.
Riff 1 (repeat as much as you need to)
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
(Play riff 1 a final time, with our without 'it kicks like a sleep twitch', and end on Em)
