an acoustic or whatever you can fiddle around with D and Dsus4 to kinda imitate it.

Also not sure of the name of the chord so when you see this D/C# its

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 (Dsus4)
on the sudden downpour ghost town street.

G Bm Asus4 A

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 Asus4 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 Asus4 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
Asus4 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.
Asus4 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,

D D/C# Bm
Asus4 A
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 Asus4 G A
Just pass out, pass out, pass out, pass out.
D (Dsus4)
It's a job for another day.

*****The next bit is pretty much the same*****

And last night I kissed a girl that I met in a bar, which seems momentous given how
things are.
We made out all morning then slept in the afternoon and she said, "Wil, I think that I
can deal with you."
And I never found the right way to say thanks to Alex for keeping my head screwed on.
For telling me when I was wrong, even though I've known all along.
It's time to clean up, start a band, get back on the road again. Stay sober and
appreciate my friends.
So I'd like to say thank you to every single one of you for everything.

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,

Hope it makes some kind of sense, I think its pretty close at least and is a decent
version to play by your self and sing along what have you. Comments/corrections welcome coz
If i can play it a better way Id love to know!
