Biography:
You Am I is a four-piece Australian power pop/alternative rock band, fronted by vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Tim Rogers. They were the first Australian band to have three albums consecutively debut at #1 on the ARIA Charts and are renowned for their energetic live shows.
Tim Rogers formed the first version of the band in Sydney, Australia, with his school friend Nick Tischler and his older brother Jaimme in December 1989. This initial line-up was short lived and by the end of 1990 both Nick and Jaimme had left the band.

A Em G D (B F#m A E) x2
Walks like a crooked tooth
And sleeps with a dexedrine smile
Keeps finding the holes where old memory can go
And wash it down liquefied
F# G B C (G# A C# A) x1
Keep that old door swinging
Coz you can be the freeloader
E G (F# A) x1
When it's closing time
When it's closing time
? Chorus (F#m? A E B)
E G D
Whatcha gonna do, there’s nothing to see, but something’s got you down
A E G
on your knees, crawling through the dirt to see where it hurts, and
D A G D
really got you down by degrees, think I’m gonna die, from tryin’to kick
A
a hole in the sky.
? end of chorus riff (im sure this isnt right but its almost there)

Verse 2: (same as 1)
Yer walls are plastered with ham-fist drunks
And fagans wrapped in denim and smoke
So tell me what chance did you happen to dance
With the step that kicked yer feet in the boat
Prechorus 2:
Loose band on the radio
All static and clashin' a hob-nailed hint
You're never losing ground
It's just the way it sounds
Chorus again
Bridge:
?
You cover me like the sunshine kisses the day
D E G A
But a pulse starts in my gut now
And it's gonna make us pay
D
Solo - over chorus chords
Repeat chorus
