[Verse 1]
[C]Here [G]I[Am][F][C][G][Am][F]
[C]am aga[G]in,
[Am]makin' the [F]rounds
[C]From
Derby to
[G]Queensland, [Am]I know these towns[F]
[C]I'm passin' through the [G]places
where I [Am]burnt my youth away
[F]And I can't say[C] the[G]y
were good old [Am]days[F]
[C]I went from job t[G]o job,
[Am]nev er stayed anywhere t[F]oo long
[C]I'd always get rest[G]less,
[Am]al ways get tempte[F]d
[C]Kept thinking there was [G]something
better [Am]further on down the [F]road
But you know,
[C]tha[G]t's not always so[Am][F]
[G]Who the hell put us here on this
[F]earth in the first [C]place?[G][Am]
If there's a
[G]God who did, why [F]don't he
show his [C]face?[G]
Everyone in this outback bar is read
[F]ing from the same [C]page
That's [Dm]why we don't know b[G]etter than
to [Dm]keep our [G]driftin' [C]ways[G][Am][F]
[C]I let too many g[G]ood women slip
[Am]through my fingers[F]
[C]I had opportuniti[G]es, b[Am]ut I let them sl[F]ide I
[C]always tho[G]ught that I had tim[Am]e on my sid[F]e
But I woke up [C]one day,
[G]and time was [Am]gone[F]
[G]Who the hell put us here on this
[F]earth in the first [C]place?
[Am]If there's a
[G]God who did,
why [F]don't he show his [C]face?
[G]Everyone in this outback bar is
griev[F]ing from the same pain
[C]That's why[Dm] we don't know better[G]
And you [Dm]keep out [G]rippin' [C]waves[G][Am][F]
[C][G][Am][F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][Am][F]
[Am]I've made a for[F]tune,
[C]and I lost one [G]too [Am]I tried to start a family[F] once, but[C] it fell
[G]through [Dm]I guess I'll alway[Am]s be,
[F]no fixed address
[C]Roa[Am]min' round the coun[G]try
[F]is what I [Dm]know be[G]st
[C]In a couple of months,
[G]I'l[Am]l pull up stu[F]mps[C]
Head to the river [G]land, [Am]fol low the seas[F]on
[C]I'll put on my hat[G] and work
all [Am]day in the s[F]un
And I'll get [C]paid [G]when
the picking's [Am]done[F]
[G]Who the hell put us here on this
[F]earth in the first [C]place?[G][Am]
If there's a
[G]God who did,
why [F]don't he show his [C]face?
[G]Everyone in this rundown bar is read
[F]ing from the same [C]page
That's [Dm]why we don't know bet[G]ter
That's [Dm]why we don't know bet[G]ter
That's [Dm]why we don't know bet[G]ter
[Dm]Keep out [G]drifting [C]waves[G]
