The Whitlams


Tom: Am

Dm              C           Am         G
He'll need some time to get over this
Dm              C          F
But a moment is all he can spare
Dm              C           Am         G
His buddies out there in the city lights
Dm              C   F
and he is trying to care.

[Chorus]
    F   C        Dm             C
See him offering  himself the world
        Am                 G
Staring down from the 56 floor 
Dm       C            Dm         C
I'd be happy just to catch him again
       Am                      G
We go out we don't always come back 

[Verse]
Dm                 C         Am        G
The night pressing in on his weary mind
Dm                   C           F
there's a half-eaten moon in the sky
Dm         C           Am          G
nothing is calling him back to bed
Dm            C            F
and no-one is saying goodbye

[Chorus]
    F   C        Dm             C
See him offering himself to the world
        Am                 G
Staring down from the 56 floor
Dm       C            Dm         C
I'd be happy just to catch him again 
      Am                D/F#     F
we go out because we go back and back
    D/F#     F        D/F#
and back and back and back.

[Instrumental]
G   Am   Em   F   G   Am   Em   F 

[Chorus]
    F   C        Dm             C
See him offering himself to the world
        Am                 G
Staring down from the 56 floor
Dm       C            Dm         C
He's not happy, its the weekend again
       Am                      G
We go out we don't always come back

[Chorus]
    F   C        Dm             C
See him offering himself to the world
        Am                 G
Staring down from the 56 floor
Dm       C            Dm         C
I'd be happy just to catch him again
      Am                D/F#
we go out because we go back, we go back
F            D/F#     F        D/F#
and back and back and back and back
     F       D/F#     F        D/F#
and back and back and back and back.

[Outro]
    F   C        Dm             C
See him offering himself to the world.
        Am
Staring down...
