When Were In Fitzroy

Gretta Ray


Tom: F

F
Deep in uncharted water, we were at sea with the fact
F
That a glance over a shoulder would see us taken aback
Bb                         C
I was hook, line and sinker nested inside your head
F
This sweet-toothed over thinker to your right lies in your bed

[Verse 2]
F
Apathy at it’s finest has got a tight hold on us
F
Well ’tis the season for it, the haze of summer now past
Bb                              C
But when in the depth of winter, I say embrace the lull
F
Slow down, take a moment to centre and indulge

[Instrumental]
Bb C

[Pre-Chorus]
            Bb        C
I’ll take care of you
         Bb                C
Be the girl you want me to
            Bb                              C
Within this suburb where this little love grew

[Chorus]
                   Bb
And settled in Fitzroy
   F
My mind won’t dare to wander
     Gm                             Am
When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon
                             Bb
A chance encounter with you, boy
       F                          Bb
Stars aligning in their rarest of forms
                           C
So let your bedroom be our port in a storm
                  F
When we’re in Fitzroy

[Instrumental] 
F

[Verse 3]
F
Unashamedly hopeless romantics and desperate artist at best
F
Spending my time in small venues, you spend your days at a desk
Bb                             C
When walls cave in around you, know this redeeming thought
F                                                          Bb
I wait at home to greet you, I’ll treat you like you’re a God

[Pre-Chorus]
  C             Bb         C
Well I’ll take care of you
        Bb                 C
Be the girl you want me to

[Chorus]
                Bb
When we’re in Fitzroy
    F
My mind won’t dare to wander
       Gm                           Am
When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon
                              Bb
A chance encounter with you, boy
       F                           Gm
Stars aligning in their rarest of forms
                            Am
So let your bedroom be our port in a storm
          Bb           F
And we can let go of torturous resistance
    Gm                      Am
When nothing and no one else is in existence
      Bb                        C
We’re revelling in filling the void
                  Dm   C  Am  Bb
When we’re in Fitzroy

Dm C Am Bb           Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else was in existence

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else, I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb
            I didn't know what else

Dm C Am Bb  C

[Pre-Chorus]
           Bb          C
I’ll take care of you
         Bb                C
Be the girl you want me to

[Chorus]
                 Bb
When we’re in Fitzroy
   F
My mind won’t dare to wander
     Gm                             Am
When faced with what I’ve stumbled upon
                             Bb
A chance encounter with you, boy
        F                         Gm
Stars aligning in their rarest of forms
                           Am
So let your bedroom be our port in a storm
           Bb         F
And we can let go of torturous resistance
     Gm                     Am
When nothing and no one else is in existence
      Bb                       C
We’re revelling in filling the void
      Bb                       C
We’re revelling in filling the void
      Bb                       C
We’re revelling in filling the void
              F
When we’re in Fitzroy
