Tom: G
C D
The hotel cleaning lady
G C
Is wearing your perfume
C D G C
It lingers in the hallway as she leaves
C D
There is air between the pillows
G C
And a silence fills the room
C D G C
It sits on clouds of aerosol and potpourri
C D
We are flying out to Darwin
G C
In the middle of wet season
C D
Always found the locals comforting and calming
G C
Like a sweaty voice of reason
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
Said that I was gonna miss you
G C
In a way we both believed
C D
Sat and listened to the future
G C
Talked to God, the Devil, and Bruce Springsteen
[Chorus]
Em D
I'm dumb as bricks, and twicе as slow
G C
But it’s the year of the rat, baby, didn't you know?
Em D
I'm dumb as bricks, and twicе as slow
G C
But it’s the year of the rat, baby, didn't you know?
[Interlude]
C D G C
[Verse 2]
C D
In this conglomerate of nothing
G C
Filled with the nostalgia of a thousand American cities
C D
This culmination of what's coming
G C
Set to the endless hum, the beating drum of dirty electricity
C D
If we can't make it stop
G C
Turn it into something we want
C
Said you wouldn't be picking sides
D
Got "I picked a side, ask me why"
G Em
Tattooed on the side of your goddamn face
C D
I got a mind to break, I wanna break my mind
G C
I'm breaking down after getting recognised in the JobSeeker line
C D
I can smell a sparkler-bomb residue of the factory floor
G C
I don't think like you, because I'm still poor
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
I said that I was going to miss you
G C
In a way that sounded fake
C D
Kept my distance this whole winter
G C
I didn’t want to raise the stakes
[Chorus]
Em D
I'm dumb as bricks, and twicе as slow
G C
But it’s the year of the rat, baby, didn't you know?
Em D
I'm dumb as bricks, and twicе as slow
G C
But it’s the year of the rat, baby, didn't you know?
