A d A fis d e A
A d A fis A d A d

A d A fis
Won't you come on down the line
d e A
Away from barren ground
A d A fis
The harlot and the autocrat
d e A
Are they driving you further down
e fis h fis
The season's rhymes, they anchor me
d h
Against the raging tide

A d A fis
Take you to the last wild place
d e A
Skin and the stars they embrace
A d A fis
A caveman could a saint become
d e A
In a hospital ward on the Somme
e fis h fis
We can dive into distant amoebas
d h fis e fis e
Our wings could melt in the sun


CHORUS

I can shake
fis g
I can move
fis h fis e
But I can't live without your love
fis e
I can break
fis g
Over you
fis h fis d fis d fis e
But I can't live without your love

A d A fis
Our poet Henry Lawson he named them
d e A
The lay 'em out brigade
A d A fis A d A d
Here they come there they go
A d A fis
Oh great god of development
d e A
Don't really know you yet
A d A fis
Coastline hosed down washed away
d e A
Economics, now there's nothing left
e fis h fis
Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps
d h d A A e
And they'll drink champagne or be damned


d A e
And the storm is breaking now
d A e
Yeah the storm is breaking now
d A e
Yes the storm is breaking now
