When Were In Fitzroy

F
Deep in uncharted water, we were at 
sea with the fact
F
That a glance over a shoulder would 
see us taken aback
Bb                         C
I was hook, line and sinker nested 
inside your head
F
This sweet-toothed over thinker to 
your right lies in your bed

[Verse 2]
F
Apathy at it’s finest has got a 
tight hold on us
F
Well ’tis the season for it, the 
haze of summer now past
Bb                              C
But when in the depth of winter, I 
say embrace the lull
F
Slow down, take a moment to centre 
and indulge

Bb C

[Pre-Chorus]
            Bb        C
I’ll take care of you
         Bb                C
Be the girl you want me to
            Bb                     
Within this suburb where this 
         C
little love grew

[Chorus]
                   Bb
And settled in Fitzroy
   F
My mind won’t dare to wander
     Gm                            
When faced with what I’ve stumbled 
 Am
upon
                             Bb
A chance encounter with you, boy
       F                          
Stars aligning in their rarest of 
Bb
forms
                           C
So let your bedroom be our port in a
 storm
                  F
When we’re in Fitzroy

[Verse 3]
F
Unashamedly hopeless romantics and 
desperate artist at best
F
Spending my time in small venues, 
you spend your days at a desk
Bb                             C
When walls cave in around you, know 
this redeeming thought
F                                 
I wait at home to greet you, I’ll 
                         Bb
treat you like you’re a God

[Pre-Chorus]
  C             Bb         C
Well I’ll take care of you
        Bb                 C
Be the girl you want me to

[Chorus]
                Bb
When we’re in Fitzroy
    F
My mind won’t dare to wander
       Gm                          
When faced with what I’ve stumbled 
 Am
upon
                              Bb
A chance encounter with you, boy
       F                         
Stars aligning in their rarest of 
  Gm
forms
                            Am
So let your bedroom be our port in a
 storm
          Bb           F
And we can let go of torturous 
resistance
    Gm                      Am
When nothing and no one else is in 
existence
      Bb                        C
We’re revelling in filling the void
                  Dm   C  Am  Bb
When we’re in Fitzroy

Dm C Am Bb           Dm C Am 
            I didn't know what else 
Bb
was in existence

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else,
 I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb  C

[Pre-Chorus]

Be the girl you want me to
