   G
Hey you
        D                Em
Put yer chewing gum in my fist
             B7              Cadd9
And pass the last over of yer drink
                A7            Cadd9
You've known me long enough to know
           A7           G
Yeah I'm in deep and it shows
          D             Em
I met her on grand final day
    B7                   Cadd9   A7
And from sixteen thousand miles away
       Cadd9
Yeah I knew
         Em                   A7
I was in trouble deep past me boots

Am7            D6
You think it's so hard
Am7          D6
Alone in the world
         G                 Fadd9               Am7
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
        F         D/F#      Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
        F         D/F#      Cadd9  A7 Cadd9
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

So I strayed (keep your head in the sky)
Til my bridges all burnt in a sneeze (leaving nothing behind)
And I'm holding by the skin of my teeth
She got me grinning like a karaoke king
Without a clue on how the thing begins
And that's where the hell I'll reside
In between the width of her smile
So if you spy me just let me be
I'm far beyond what you knew of me

You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

Em          A7
You're never alone
     Cadd9           G
It's you against the world
Em           A7                  D             Ebdim
You're the uninvited oyster next to the pearl
                     Em                   Am7
The best lesson i've learned - oh yeah -

       D6                  Am7
Keepin up with a beautiful girl -
               D6                     Am7
i need to keep up with that beautiful girl
        D6                  Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
        D6                  Am7
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
        F         D/F#      Am7
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
        F         D/F#      Am7
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
        F         D/F#      Am7

One day without being sorry I know
One day without being sorry

Intro:
 Am / Am+ / Am6 / Am+
 Am / Am+ / Am6 / Am+


Verse 1:
        Am          Am/G       Am/F
 I woke up with the war in my head
                   E7sus4           E7
 An old man's grumble, and an extra space in the bed
 Am     Am/G      Am/F                       E7sus4
 And if ole' John Prine, could sing the next line
       E7
 'Bout something that can make me smile

Bridge:
 Dm                      G7
 I'm gonna have to be content to
       E/G#                     Am       Am(maj7)
 Stare at your baby photos till it makes sense
 Dm                          G7
 And were you ever mine, anyway?
       E/G#
 Speak up as I drop away

Chorus:
     a
 I wrote down what I think
         Dmaj7
 On the head of a matchstick
 a
  Wrote it all short and sweet
Dmaj7
 All that made sense to me

 F#m
 Burn six thousand miles
 Bm
 Sorry for all the times
 Dmaj7
 I just can't add up all the songs
                      (Repeat intro)
 To find the damage we done


Verse 2:
 I fought for you like a doll from a tree
 I keep a straight stiched face
 As the ground makes a bed for me
 I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies

Bridge 2:
 You can run so long from sadness
 That you're never at home for the fun
 I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
 Thank god it ain't a sunday night

Chorus:
 I wrote down what I think
 On the head of a matchstick
 Wrote it all short and sweet
 All that made sense to me

 I burnt six thousand miles
 Sorry for all the times
 I just can't add up the songs
 To find the damage...

 I wrote down what I think
 On the head of a matchstick
 I wrote it all short and sweet
 All that made sense to me
 I'm burning out in the lights
 Sorry for all the times
 I just can't see how it comes
 To find the damage we done

 The damage we done
 The damage we done

Get the lead on out 'coz it's my round
And I punched the van 'coz I lost the sound

But what would I do with a satisfied mind
Oh yeah

Could you give me just a minute of me needs
You've seen me at my worst in its degrees
The garbage growing deep around my toes
Got nothing going for me but my nose

I got a thing going with old Jesus Christ
He keeps me up from sleeping straight at night
And I need to tell you something about the baggage
If I can find the language

Cos she walks like a cello in good vibrations
metered and deadly til I can't help but cave in
bring some sun back with you yeah
go on out and bring some sun back with you yeah

            B7sus4
I'm speaking rhythms and rhymes
   E7                             a   Aug5

         F#m
but this big old tongue
            F#m7

and he's a fake
from his smile to the tatts right there on his toes
but you just not sure if you're ever gonna get thru this yaer alone

he don't hold your hand
yeah just when you need
yeah, but you're sure that twinkle in his eye is just there for you but you
can't ignore
that he sure look slike your dad when he can still look straight at night
when he tucks you in and kisses your belly, and strokes your hair so you
just don't cry

leaves...

you sure wish you knew
who was on the half back flank
back twenty years when you won those flags on back to back

would sure make the stand-off make more sense
if yo ucould stand toe-to-toe on who took the bench
and not htis silent treatment that leaves you wondering if this baby's
heaven sent

it was the way she put her hand on her hip
and the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time

leaves...

C            A7   G
Get me on my feet again

Swinging like a tire
Princess off the beat
Telephone wires with all
Explode at your feet

I'm running out of blood
But i'm never cold
But I need to jump those fences
Holding neath the show
Cos I see just what I need
So drag this boy on over
Let him fall real deep

If we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Birds do it
Bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Get me on my feet again

Sugar I'm a mess
But its where I wanna be
I wanna burn out with a smile
That cuts right through my teeth

Everyone gets rained
Rained on just the same
But lately its been soaking
Us right to the veins
And we're running out of time
So drag this boy on over
And keep him til its light

Can we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Them birds do it
Them bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
Get me on my feet again
