[Intro]
Cadd9 G Em7 G Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
As you kissed me under the influence that night, it was Christmas Eve
Cadd9 G Em7 D
And you said to me that I was the strangest creature that you had ever seen
Cadd9 G Em7 D
We made love on dirty laundry awkwardly listening to David Bowie
Cadd9 G Em7 D
And you closed your eyes and I said goodbye
Cadd9 G Em7 G Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
And all my life I’d never heard a man that can make a guitar sound like the way you can
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Oh I saw a cross on the wall, found myself in St. Vincent’s Hospital
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Screaming “I don’t wanna die in this place, don’t wanna leave this world in such a state”
Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
I always knew it was never my fate cause the only constant we’ve ever known has been change
Cadd9 G Em7 G
And our house got robbed again, they stole Tom’s bike and a GPS
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
And I’m running home again from Footscray Station
[Verse 3]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Don’t bother stealing my wallet because I’m still earning minimum wage
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Don’t even bother stealing my phone because the screen’s fucked anyway
Cadd9 G Em7 D
And everything I ever cared for before was lost in the fires so long ago
Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
When I moved away from home ended up on an open road
G Em7 G Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
[Verse 4]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
When you closed the door behind you it sounded like you couldn't wait to leave
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Love, I know, I'm not that stupid, please don’t try to patronize me
Cadd9 G Em7 D Cadd9
Now you’ve made your bed, now let her fuck you up in it and fuck you over in it
G Em7 D Cadd9
And fuck you around in it all over and over and over and over again
[Verse 5]
Cadd9 G Em7 G
Now there’s blood on Scott Morrison’s hands, there’s a rally in the city if you wanna meet there
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
And I’m running as fast as I can to Footscray Station
Cadd9 G Em7 G Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
And the skyyyy is stained by the city, it isn’t pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves
Cadd9 G Em7 G Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
And the skyyyy is stained by the city, it isn’t pretty but it’s exactly what it deserves
[Verse 6]
Cadd9 G Em7 G
And our house got robbed again they stole your phone and the cigarettes
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
From our cozy little nest near Footscray station
Cadd9 G Em7 G
Where the walls are paper thin and the trucks are loud so I can sing
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
How I wanna be here more than anything
Cadd9 G Em7 G
And then there’s you
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
And Lentils too
Cadd9
