From St Kilda To Fitzroy

Tom: G

G          Am
Come in my thoughts 
G                Am
Stomach in knots, and then
D             C
Steps, grass, gate, door
        D       C
Oh, you perfect stranger

G                Am
Elastic breaking dawn
G                   Am
Last night’s outfit on
         D
From St. Kilda
            C
Towards St. Kilda West
         D        C
Start my walk of shamelessness

G
Nice street, coffee, sore feet, diary
    C
Construction men, whistling


"Hey, sweetheart, where've you been?"
G
Paper shop, buy a pen
What a pretty neighborhood
C
Stop short, remember him
Biting hard between my legs

     G
Then no more talk inside my head
Delicious feeling like I'm dead
     C
For just a second, shutting up
A fire shock all in my gut

  G                            C
I want to feel it over all the time
  G                            C
I want to feel it over all the time

G          Am
Come back again
G           Am
Stop making friends
       D        C
It's a lot like Chapstick
       D         C
The effect wears off quick

G
Nice street, coffee, sore feet, diary
   C
Construction men, maybe eat
Quick, consider motherhood
G
Luna park, smiling head
Call Melissa, dinner plans
C
Walking by the esplanade
Feel my stomach in his hands

  G
Then no more talk inside my head
Delicious feeling like I'm dead
     C
For just a second, shutting up
A fire shock all in my gut
