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


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


C                G
From St Kilda to Watsonia North
   Am             F                C
is thirteen hours with my thoughts
   G                   Am   riff
Of hands and plans and you
C                            G
There's sensations that I'll never know
     Am                F          C
Like Split Enz records on my stereo
        G                 Am   riff
And the time I spend with you


    C       G         Am          F
And I don't know what you've been thinking
C     G        Am      F
Gotta know it, I gotta know it
   C          G       Am           F
My head feels like my mouth's been drinking
C     G        Am      F
Gotta know it, I gotta know it
  C         G         Am     F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
  C         G        Am      F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
C                  G              Am
Don't tell me I've got to keep it down
  C         G         Am     F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
        G     F
Who's a lucky boy?


Am                       F
Television never made me mad (mad)
G                      Am               F
A distraction from the future that I'll never have (never have)


  C         G         Am     F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
  C         G         Am     F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
C                  G              Am
Don't tell me I've got to keep it down
  C         G         Am     F    C
Hello cruel world I'm taking over now
C       G     F
Who's a lucky boy?
