Here In Melbourne

Bm

[Verse]
Bm     G         Bm         G
I wake with your hand on my shoulder
Bm             G                 Em
It's colder outside where they don't know we're naked
Bm                G            Bm   G
And all of your friends leave messages
       Bm               G       Em
That suggest we should not be doing what we're doing
     Bm         G        Bm            G          Bm
But we do not care and where there is air we'll be breathing
  G                Em
Believe me, where there's warmth we'll share

[Chorus]
     D      G (or Gmaj7 ) D
And why are you not in Melbourne?
       G               D
It's colder here, you know
           G          Em
And the stars are obscured by the sky
     D       G          D
And why are you not in Melbourne?
        G             D
There's art in the streets
           G               Em
Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
    D
And why
    G
Are you
       D
Not in Melbourne?

[Verse]
Bm         G           Bm           G
Under the house of someone I once slept with
    Bm           G            Em
We wept on the inside; the outside kept talking
     Bm           G       Bm             G
Cos we knew we'd fit together like continents
        Bm       G              Em
In the eyes of children who've just learned geography
    Bm         G
And you had a lover
    Bm       G
And I had a ticket
     Bm           G            Em
We wickedly took off with the few hours left to us

[Chorus]
     D      G           D
And still you're not in Melbourne?
       G               D
It's colder here, you know
           G          Em
And the stars are obscured by the sky
     D           G            D
And why are you still not in Melbourne?
        G             D
There's art in the streets
           G             Em
Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
    D
And why
    G
Are you still
       D
Not in Melbourne?

[Verse]
Bm            G
I caught you peeking
           Bm            G
When you thought I'd be sleeping
     Bm          G
We caught not a wink
         Em
For the heat we were breathing
     Bm
No, there was no rest
                          G
But at least we weren't arrested
      Bm            G              Bm                     G
For teaching the children of the birds and bees (and the bees and bees)
       Bm            G         Bm           G
But I wish you had turned when I had turned back
          Bm                          Em
I'd turn back the clocks if I thought we could stay still for long enough

[Chorus]
               D
So maybe it's good
        G           D
You're not here in Melbourne
       G               D
It's colder here, you see
          G              Em
And the stars aren't as bright as you'd like
      D                G               D
But still, there's a place for you in Melbourne
     G             D
My heart's on my sleeve
            G              Em
Wish your feet would come darken my door

[Outro]
D      G
You
         D   G
You and me
         D     G
I mean, we
           D     G
Could both be
         D        G
Here in Melbourne
         D        G
Here in Melbourne
         D        Gmaj7
Here in Melbourne
