[Intro]
C Dm7 F G C Dm7 F G C G Am D G
[Verse]
C F
Your famous philosophies
C F
Tied up in brown paper wrapping and string
G
You stepped back through time like the time that you stepped through
F C G
Meant nothing at all
[Verse]
C F C
A little bit weary and world worn
F
And eager for talking some more
G
And we leaned on each other like brothers and fought
F C G
With our backs to the wall
[Chorus]
C G F G
We took no routine stance
C G F G
We were living our lives by chance
C G Am
Robbing Peter for Paul, losing it all
D G C Dm7 F G C Dm7 F
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night in St. Kilda again
[Verse]
C F C
We were wrong, the world didn't end between there and here
F
Though it's still looking shaky and worn
G
Did you give up your dreaming
F C G
Believing time finds a price for us all?
[Verse]
C F
Time is an enemy, patient and clever
C F
And way beyond our control
G
When you run out of time, it's funny
F C G
But money can't talk at all
[Chorus]
C G F G
We took no routine stance
C G F G
We were living our lives by chance
C G Am
Robbing Peter for Paul, losing it all
D G C Dm7 F G
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night in St. Kilda again
C
This old town again
[Instrumental]
Dm7 F G C Dm7 F G C Dm7 F
[Verse]
C F
When the world turned rough and betrayed your trust
C F
And they left you out in the cold
G
In the deafening silence, a man is an island
F C G
When he's out on his own
[Verse]
C F C
A little bit weary and world worn
F
Not eager for talking anymore
G
Hey brother, what happened to standing and fighting
F C G
With our backs to the wall?
[Chorus]
C G F G
We took no routine stance
C G F G
We were living our lives by chance
C G Am
Robbing Peter for Paul, losing it all
D G
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night
[Chorus]
C G F G
We took no routine stance
C G F G
We were living our lives by chance
C G Am
Robbing Peter for Paul, losing it all
D G C Dm7 F G
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night in St. Kilda again
C Dm7 F G C Dm7 F
This old town again
