Intro : ( F   Bb  C ) * 4


F 
With your famous philosophies
                        Bb
Tied up in brown paper wrapping and string
                 C
You stepped back through time
Like the time that you stepped through
        Bb           C
Meant nothing at all


A little bit weary and world worn and eager
For taking some more
And we leaned on each other like brothers
And fought with our backs to the wall

Chorus
F           C          Bb          C
We took no routine stance
F           C          Bb          C
We were living' our lives by chance
F                   C       
Robbing Peter for Paul 
Dm
Losing it all
G            Bb               C
Maybe I'll find you one Saturday night
In St. Kilda again


Other Verses

We were wrong the world didn't end
Between there and here
Thought it's still looking shaky and worn
Did you give up your dreaming
Believing time finds a price for us all
But time is an enemy, patient and clever
And way beyond our control
When you run out of time
It's funny but money can't talk at all

Chorus

When the world turned rough
And betrayed your trust
And they left you out in the cold
In the deafening silence
A man is an island
When he's out on his own
A little bit weary and world worn
Not eager for talking anymore
Hey brother what happened
To standing and fighting
With our backs to the wall

Chorus
