 D 
Walking back to my house the morning after the sugar cube and the
 D 
Heavens opened up and drowned the heat.
                             D 
With the trace elements tickling   my spine,
                                 G 
I took my shoes off and danced in puddles
                                                                                                                     D 
on the sudden downpour ghost town street.

 D 
Hello, my name is Wil and I slept through the millennium
             G 
But what I wouldn't give to be young, dreaming and ten again.
             Bm                                                                                                 A4                                     A 
It's New Years 2009, with what's in my system I won't be sleeping for a long time.
               D 
And when I was a boy, I thought I was a fish and
 G 
I still love the ocean like when I was a kid,
             Bm                                                                                                                               A4                     A 
But lately I have come to the conclusion, that I'm disappointingly probably human.
                           D 
And I've come a long way from those amphibious days and
         G 
I'd like to thank the things I've seen, the friends that I've made,
                       Bm 
All the people that have hurt me, the times that I've been saved and to
 A4                                                                           A 
music, which has made me its most obliging slave.
                         D 
There's blood on this guitar, there's sweat between these keys,
                       G 
when I step forward to the mic it's with my tail between my knees,
           Bm 
But we aren't here to fight, we are here to dance.
             A4                                                     A 
No, we aren't here to fight, we are here to dance.
                                           G                                                                                   A 
And then the summer crept up like only a Melbourne summer can.
             G                                                                                       A 
We ducked back in our alleys and pretended to hate our tans.
             G                                                                                         A 
And told each   other one day, we'd all look back and smile,

   Asus4A 
While knowing that we've been drinking ourselves to sleep for a long time.
               G                                                                                                   A 
And now we're back at work and we're working on those numbers.
                         G                                                                                                       A 
They're getting us in our sleep, we're having nightmares in our slumber,
                                 G                                                                                               A 
About the dealers and the overheads we're going to have to pay.
                           D       D/C#               Bm                     A4                   G                                 A 
Just pass out,               pass out, pass out, pass out.
                                                                       D 
It's a job for another day.
* * * * *The next bit is pretty much the same * * * * *
                                         G                                                                                   A 
And then the summer crept up like only a Melbourne summer can.
             G                                                                                       A 
We ducked back in our alleys and pretended to hate our tans.
             G                                                                                         A 
And told each   other one day, we'd all look back and smile,

   Asus4A 
While knowing that we've been drinking ourselves to sleep for a long time.
               G                                                                                                   A 
And now we're back at work and we're working on those numbers.
                         G                                                                                                       A 
They're getting us in our sleep, we're having nightmares in our slumber,
                                 G                                                                                               A 
About the dealers and the overheads we're going to have to pay.
                           D       D/C#               Bm                     A4                   G                                 A 
Just pass out,               pass out, pass out, pass out.
                                                                       D 
It's a job for another day.
Hope it makes some kind of sense, I think its pretty close at least and is a decent
