[Intro]
Bm
[Verse]
BmI wake Gwith your Bmhand on my Gshoulder
BmIt's colder outGside where they doEmn't know we're naked
BmAnd all of your frGiends leave mBmessagGes
That suBmggest we should nGot be doEming what we're doing
But wBme do not caGre and whBmere there is aGir we'll be Bmbreathing
BeGlieve me, where tEmhere's warmth we'll share
[Chorus]
           D   G(or  Gmaj7) D  
And why are you not in Melbourne?
It's coGlder here, you kDnow
And the staGrs are obscEmured by the sky
And wDhy are yGou not in MDelbourne?
There's Gart in the strDeets
Put your feGet somewhere cloEmse to my floor
And Dwhy
Are Gyou
Not in DMelbourne?
[Verse]
BmUnder the hGouse of someBmone I once slGept with
We wBmept on the inGside; the outEmside kept talking
Cos wBme knew we'd fGit togetBmher like continGents
In the eBmyes of chGildren who've jEmust learned geography
And Bmyou had a lGover
And BmI had a tGicket
We wiBmckedly took oGff with the fEmew hours left to us
[Chorus]
And sDtill yoGu're not in DMelbourne?
It's coGlder here, you kDnow
And the staGrs are obscEmured by the sky
And wDhy are you sGtill not in MDelbourne?
There's Gart in the strDeets
Put your feGet somewhere cEmlose to my floor
And Dwhy
Are Gyou still
Not in DMelbourne?
[Verse]
BmI caught you pGeeking
When you thBmought I'd be sGleeping
We caBmught not a wGink
For the hEmeat we were breathing
No, tBmhere was no rest
But at least we weren't arGrested
For teBmaching the chiGldren of the biBmrds and bees (and the bGees and bees)
But I wBmish you had tuGrned when BmI had turned Gback
I'd turn bBmack the clocks if I thought Emwe could stay still for long enough
[Chorus]
So maybe it's gDood
You're nGot here in MDelbourne
It's coGlder here, you sDee
And the stGars aren't as bEmright as you'd like
But stDill, there's a plGace for you in MDelbourne
My heGart's on my slDeeve
Wish your feGet would come dEmarken my door
[Outro]
DYouG  
You and mDeG  
I mean, wDeG  
Could both DbeG

Here in MDelbourneG  
Here in MDelbourneGmaj7

Gmaj7

[Intro]

[Verse]

Bm G Bm G

I wake with your hand on my shoulder

Bm G Em

It's colder outside where they don't know we're naked

Bm G Bm G

And all of your friends leave messages

Bm G Em

That suggest we should not be doing what we're doing

Bm G Bm G Bm

But we do not care and where there is air we'll be breathing

G Em

Believe me, where there's warmth we'll share

[Chorus]

D G Gmaj7 D

(or )

And why are you not in Melbourne?

G D

It's colder here, you know

G Em

And the stars are obscured by the sky

D G D

And why are you not in Melbourne?

G D

There's art in the streets

G Em

Put your feet somewhere close to my floor

And why

Are you

Not in Melbourne?

[Verse]

Bm G Bm G

Under the house of someone I once slept with

Bm G Em

We wept on the inside; the outside kept talking

Bm G Bm G

Cos we knew we'd fit together like continents

Bm G Em

In the eyes of children who've just learned geography

Bm G

And you had a lover

Bm G

And I had a ticket

Bm G Em

We wickedly took off with the few hours left to us

[Chorus]

D G D

And still you're not in Melbourne?

G D

It's colder here, you know

G Em

And the stars are obscured by the sky

D G D

And why are you still not in Melbourne?

G D

There's art in the streets

G Em

Put your feet somewhere close to my floor

And why

Are you still

Not in Melbourne?

[Verse]

Bm G

I caught you peeking

Bm G

When you thought I'd be sleeping

Bm G

We caught not a wink

For the heat we were breathing

No, there was no rest

But at least we weren't arrested

Bm G Bm G

For teaching the children of the birds and bees (and the bees and bees)

Bm G Bm G

But I wish you had turned when I had turned back

Bm Em

I'd turn back the clocks if I thought we could stay still for long enough

[Chorus]

So maybe it's good

G D

You're not here in Melbourne

G D

It's colder here, you see

G Em

And the stars aren't as bright as you'd like

D G D

But still, there's a place for you in Melbourne

G D

My heart's on my sleeve

G Em

Wish your feet would come darken my door

[Outro]

D G

You

D G

You and me

D G

I mean, we

D G

Could both be

D G

Here in Melbourne

D G

Here in Melbourne

D Gmaj7

Here in Melbourne
