Intro: D5  | F#5  |  E5  |    |  
 
        D5          A5                       E5 
Got a letter from Davie just the other day 
D5                A5            E5 
Living in Queensland was not OK 
D5                          A5              E5 
Said he can't find the money just to pay the rent 
D5 
And the food and the herb 
A5                   E5 
Well, they're just heaven sent 
F#5         G5           A5          B5 
He's been living on the razor's edge 
     G5          A5          D5 
And trying to touch the Sun 
    G5         A5                 B5        B5   E5 
And he wont fall for that same old trick again   
Cathy's all right 
she just gets lonely every day 
She's living in a day 
She's living in a dream world of yesterday 
and there she is, and here she'll stay 
"Well it just never worked out," she said anyway 
 
She's been living on the razor's edge 
And trying to touch the sun 
And she wont fall for that same old trick again 
 
Lulu's tired of living down beside Torquay 
She's getting herself together financially 
Says "One of these days I'm gonna lie in the sun 
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?" 
 
She's been living on the razor's edge 
And trying to touch the sun 
And she wont fall for that same old trick again 
 
Got a letter from Davie just the other day 
And the note just read "Please come to Byron Bay" 
Well the heart say's "Go" and the head says "Stay" 
And the big wheels just keep turning every day 
 
Don't go living on the razor's edge 
And trying to touch the sun 
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again 
 
We're all living on the razor's edge 
And trying to touch the sun 
And we wont fall for that same old trick again
