seen We made love on

And all my life I never

make a guitar sound

like the way you can

Oh I saw a cross on

the wall Found myself
in St. Vincent's
G#
hospital Screaming
F# C#
"I don't want to die
A#m
in this place Or leave
C#
this world in such a

state" I always knew

it was never my fate

Cause the only constant
G#
we've ever known
F#
has been change

bike and a GPS And I'm
F# C#
running home again from

wallet because I'm still
C#
earning minimum wage
F#
And don't even bother
C#
stealing my phone because
A#m C#
the screen is cracked anyway
F# C#
And everything I ever cared
A#m
for before was lost in
G#
the fire so long ago And

I moved away from home

When you close the door

behind you it sounded
A#m
like you couldn't wait

in it All over and over
F#
and over and over again

Now there's blood on

Scott Morrison's hands

There's a rally in the

city if you want to meet

there I'm running as fast
C# G#
as I can to Footscray Station

The sky is stained by the city
F#
Yeah it's not pretty but it's
C# G#
exactly what it deserves oh

another The sky is stained
A#m C#
by the city Yeah it's not

what it deserves

From our cozy little

nest near Footscray

Station Well the walls
C#
are paper thin And the
