>From the album "Love This City"

Transcribed by Dan Meijer <dm@zip.com.au>

The regular pattern of the intro is duplicated in the verses, while the
vocal phrasing has Tim's trademark of being a bit different in each time.
Listen to the song to see how it goes.The verse, bridge 1, and chorus
progressions simply repeat.

Intro:
F   Bb   Gm   C   x2

Verse:
F                 Bb
I shouldn't have driven
Gm                      C
You shouldn't have driven
       F             Bb
But we got there and had a good time
       Gm                   C
So we left the car and the cabbie was from a war zone


Bridge 1:
Am      Dm                     Gm
We were glad he was driving us home
        C
I was glad about that mood
Am          Dm                Gm
We took it on, we took it on board
     C
I said


Chorus:
      F      Bb   Gm
Thank you
     C
For loving me at my worst
Bb             Am                  
If this isn't love it's very close
Dm                 Gm         C
  Can you hear the world it's waking up
Bb        Am          Dm 
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
       Gm       C
have I got them in me?


Verse (same progression):
Bought myself one of them keyboard axes
Wanted to get out and dance away from the piano
That could have been the beginning of the end
If I wasn't already in the middle

Bridge 1 (same progression):
The crowd was confused, and then they cheered
and my career was back on track
I was relieved and full of love for the people
and I said

Chorus (same progression):
Thank you, each and every one of you
For loving at me at my worst
If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world it's waking up
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
have I got them in me?

Bridge 2:
Gm      F                      Eb
All you bright and middle-aged things
                 Bb         C
Attending your sons and daughters
Gm                  F                    Eb 
Spare a thought for me out here with the kids
                   Bb         C
To hell with your bricks and mortar!
     C                  Eb        
It's you and me and the holy ghost
Bb                    Gm
On the road we're all heading down the coast
Bb                                   Gm
We're better sorry than safe when we count the cost
Bb                                   Gm
We're better sorry than safe when we count the cost

Verse (same progression):
There's a bar out east, it's called The Scrum
Only red wine and the finest of cigars
If we leave now we'll still get in
You could find yourself a young consort

Bridge 1 (same progression):
Writers of unpopular fiction trying to drink more
Than bikies who've all left their beards at the door
They smoke all the wine and drink all the beer
and say...

Chorus (same progression):
Thank you, each and every one of you
For loving at me at my worst
...
For loving at me at my worst

If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world it's waking up
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
have I got them in me?

If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world it's waking up
Can we be crazy for a few more years?
have I got them in me?

If this isn't love it's very close
If this isn't love it's very close
Can you hear the world it's waking up...?
