[Verse 1]
G Em Back in early '96 in North West Australia A F#m I wonder why you were lyin' on the street alone G Em Another accident inflicted on an innocent child A F#m In the home, while I was on the see-saw G Em I was in the garden, readin' Papillon A F#m Tellin' myself real people couldn't be so cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em And she said, "Honey, what's wrong?" A I said, "Babe, what's right?" F#m G Em So we staggered off into the night, oh A F#m G Em I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky just to sleep at night, oh A F#m G So we linked arms and we staggered off into the night Em A F#m G Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed
[Chorus]
G By the boys D G The boys are killin' me D G I'm just a sailor and a miner D G I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am D G Even if you tell me I'm a liar D G The boys are killin' me D G I'm just a sailor and a miner D G Mantajarra Walyakarra F#m Take a deep breath and hold your fire
[Verse 2]
G Em Gesticulating wildly and passionate at cars A F#m Parked in the dark on the street, oh G Em I would've fallen in a hole A If you didn't have my shoulders tight F#m You're swaying like a see-saw G Em If that's what it is to trust another, then you got it all A F#m But I don't know if I can trust my country anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em And she said, "Honey, what's wrong?" A I said, "Babe, what's right?" F#m G Em So we staggered off into the night, oh Em A F#m G Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed
[Chorus]
G By the boys D G The boys are killin' me D G I'm just a sailor and a miner D G I'm comin' as I am, comin' as I am D G Even if you tell me I'm a liar D G The boys are killin' me D G I'm just a sailor and a miner D G Mantajarra Walyakarra F#m Take a deep breath and hold your fire
