Perth Traumatic Stress Disorder

Tom: C

C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty

Otherwise I'd hate that city
    F
The only place my heart's been torn in two
C
Always worth the lengthy flight

And sometimes the warm sleepless nights
        F
There's no such thing as coming back too soon


[Chorus]
            G
A different situation I don't know

When I have some more, the standard's low
              Am
I still can't recover from the way you let me down
                  G
I mean, you got a new girl, yeah, that's fine

But I think about it all the time
             Am              G                 C    G D G
I resent the way you made me love your western town


[Verse]
C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty

Otherwise I'd hate that city
F
Isolated from my eastern life
C
Bands and bars on widened streets

Where beaches meet the urban heat
    F
And people seem to be friendly and nice


[Chorus]
                G
I know I should probably let it go

But it's only now I finally know
                   Am              Am7            Am
That you were only trouble looking for a place to stay
               G
Yeah, I got to visit somewhere new

Now forever tainted with thoughts of you
            Am                     C   G   D   G
Didn't even get an inadvertent holiday


[Bridge]
C
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
F                      G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
C     Em     (?)     C G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
F                      G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh


[Outro]
C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty
C
Otherwise I'd hate that city
C
Hate this city, love this city
C                   N.C.
Perth, you're lucky you're so pretty
