C                G
From St Kilda to Watsonia North
   Am                F    
is fourteen hours by public 
           C
transport
    G                     Am riff
But worth it to be with you
C                       G
Treading water's taking all my 
breath
     Am                 F      
Like borrowed sheets on borrowed 
       C
beds
    G                  Am riff
Too small for me and you


    C       G         Am          
And I don't know what you've been 
F
thinking
C     G       Am       F
Gotta know it, I gotta know it
C           G         Am     F  
Hello cruel world I'm taking over 
  C
now
C       Am    F
Who's a lucky boy?
