[Verse]
Bm G Bm G
I wake with your hand on my shoulder
Bm G Em
It's colder outside where they don't know we're naked
Bm G Bm G
And all of your friends leave messages
Bm G Em
That suggest we should not be doing what we're doing
Bm G Bm G Bm
But we do not care and where there is air we'll be breathing
G Em
Believe me, where there's warmth we'll share
[Chorus]
D G (or Gmaj7 ) D
And why are you not in Melbourne?
G D
It's colder here, you know
G Em
And the stars are obscured by the sky
D G D
And why are you not in Melbourne?
G D
There's art in the streets
G Em
Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
D
And why
G
Are you
D
Not in Melbourne?
[Verse]
Bm G Bm G
Under the house of someone I once slept with
Bm G Em
We wept on the inside; the outside kept talking
Bm G Bm G
Cos we knew we'd fit together like continents
Bm G Em
In the eyes of children who've just learned geography
Bm G
And you had a lover
Bm G
And I had a ticket
Bm G Em
We wickedly took off with the few hours left to us
[Chorus]
D G D
And still you're not in Melbourne?
G D
It's colder here, you know
G Em
And the stars are obscured by the sky
D G D
And why are you still not in Melbourne?
G D
There's art in the streets
G Em
Put your feet somewhere close to my floor
D
And why
G
Are you still
D
Not in Melbourne?
[Verse]
Bm G
I caught you peeking
Bm G
When you thought I'd be sleeping
Bm G
We caught not a wink
Em
For the heat we were breathing
Bm
No, there was no rest
G
But at least we weren't arrested
Bm G Bm G
For teaching the children of the birds and bees (and the bees and bees)
Bm G Bm G
But I wish you had turned when I had turned back
Bm Em
I'd turn back the clocks if I thought we could stay still for long enough
[Chorus]
D
So maybe it's good
G D
You're not here in Melbourne
G D
It's colder here, you see
G Em
And the stars aren't as bright as you'd like
D G D
But still, there's a place for you in Melbourne
G D
My heart's on my sleeve
G Em
Wish your feet would come darken my door
[Outro]
D G
You
D G
You and me
D G
I mean, we
D G
Could both be
D G
Here in Melbourne
D G
Here in Melbourne
D Gmaj7
Here in Melbourne
