Intro : ( F5   Bb5  C5 ) * 4


F5 
With your famous philosophies
                        Bb5
Tied up in brown paper wrapping and string
                 C5
You stepped back through time
Like the time that you stepped through
        Bb5           C5
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
F5           C5          Bb5          C5
We took no routine stance
F5           C5          Bb5          C5
We were living' our lives by chance
F5                   C5       
Robbing Peter for Paul 
D5
Losing it all
G5            Bb5               C5
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
