 Hey  you
 Put  yer chewing gum  in my fist
 And  pass the last over  of yer drink
 You've  known me long  enough to know
 Yeah  I'm in deep  and it shows
 I  met her on grand  final day
 And  from sixteen thousand  miles away
 Yeah  I knew
 I  was in trouble deep past  me boots
 You  think it's so  hard
 Alone  in the world
 Yeah  well just try keeping  up with a beautiful  girl
 Keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 Keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 Keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 So I strayed (keep your head in the sky)
 Til my bridges all burnt in a sneeze (leaving nothing behind)
 And I'm holding by the skin of my teeth
 She got me grinning like a karaoke king
 Without a clue on how the thing begins
 And that's where the hell I'll reside
 In between the width of her smile
 So if you spy me just let me be
 I'm far beyond what you knew of me
 You think it's so hard
 Alone in the world
 Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
 Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
 Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
 Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
 You're  never alone
 It's  you against the  world
 You're  the uninvited  oyster next to the  pearl
 The  best lesson i've learned  - oh yeah -
 Keepin  up with a beautiful  girl -
 i  need to keep up with that  beautiful girl
 Keepin'  up with a beautiful  girl
 Keepin'  up with a beautiful  girl
 keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl
 keepin'  up with  a beautiful  girl

  Got  a kiss on the neck  from a mornin' cartoon
 Pullin'  out the knot,  I just can't lose
  (Ph. 1)
 Grabbin'  my shoulder, turned  out the night
 Like a smile after  you've cried
  (Ph. 2)
   The lady out walkin'  with her popcorn pup
  (Ph. 2)
 To  get out and smoke before her husband  wakes up
  (Ph.2) (Ph. 1)
 Eyes  to the asphalt, plastic  bag hands
  (Ph. 3)
 Just get on outta  there, just get away  from that man
 Well  I'm all thumbs  and toes
 With  the way that it comes and  the way that it goes
   (Get up Get  up) I gotta  loosen this load
   (Get up, get  up) Get  some fire in my throat
  (Ph. 4) (Ph. 2)
 
  (Ph. 2)
 See  the man in the corner tryin'  to make em all smile
  (Ph. 4)
 And  missin' the one who matters  all the while
  (Ph. 3) (Ph. 1)
 She'll  beat him senseless but he  just can't see
 It aint for the crowd  that you bleed
  (Ph. 4)
 So be good to your barkeep man
  (Ph. 4)
 Its more than yer drink, he's got his hand
  (Ph. 4) (Ph. 1)
 Can see that your nervous and it shits him to tears
  (Ph. 3)
 Yeah he just don't want to wait and he don't care about your band
 (PRECHORUS, CHORUS)
  (Ph. 1)
 I need a life dedicated
 not this endless parading
  (Ph. 3)
 Help me, alright
 (Get up, get up)
 Yeah I gotta loosen this load
 (Get up, get up)
 And get some fire in my throat
 I want a life dedicated
 not this endless parading
 Help me, alright
 I need to do more, but I aint been sleeping
 For the longest time
 For the longest time
 For the longest time
 If I could live for one day without being sorry I know
 One day without being sorry I know

I woke up with the war in my head
An old man's grumble, and an extra space in the bed
And if ole' John Prine, could sing the next line
'Bout something that can make me smile
I'm gonna have to be content to
Am
Stare at your baby photos till it makes sense
And were you ever mine, anyway?
Speak up as I drop away
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
Wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
Burn six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up all the songs
(Repeat intro)
To find the damage we done
I fought for you like a doll from a tree
I keep a straight stiched face
As the ground makes a bed for me
I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies
You can run so long from sadness
That you're never at home for the fun
I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
Thank god it ain't a sunday night
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
Wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I burnt six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up the songs
To find the damage...
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I'm burning out in the lights
Sorry for all the times
I just can't see how it comes
To find the damage we done
The damage we done
The damage we done

 I just  don't know how to talk to you
 
 There  aint much that I want to get through
 Just  stare at you in silence thats  okay
 Like  a dog outside your window in the  rains
 
 You're  horse mounts so high that I can't see
 
 The  distance that I fall each time you leave
 Without  the sentences that keep you  quiet
 And  stop me at the line
 So  go on out in that  heat so familiar
 
 Just  go on and bring some sun back with you
 
  bring  some sun back with you yeah
 
 go  on  out and bring some sun back with you yeah
 Could you give me just a minute of me needs
 You've seen me at my worst in its degrees
 The garbage growing deep around my toes
 Got nothing going for me but my nose
 I got a thing going with old Jesus Christ
 He keeps me up from sleeping straight at night
 And I need to tell you something about the baggage
 If I can find the language
 Cos she walks like a cello in good vibrations
 metered and deadly til I can't help but cave in
 bring some sun back with you yeah
 go on out and bring some sun back with you yeah
 I'm  speaking rhythms and rhymes
 
 and  metres  and times that I should understand
 but  this big old tongue
 should  have stoped not begun
 Thats  why I do not what I say
 That  stuff can't give me away

 you sure wish you knew
 who was on the half back flank
 back twenty years when you won those flags on back to back
 would sure make the stand-off make more sense
 if yo ucould stand toe-to-toe on who took the bench
 and not htis silent treatment that leaves you wondering if this baby's

 it was the way she put her hand on her hip
 and the sparkle in her eye
 but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time

 and  can't get started
 and  your perfect toes just  wont sit  still
 A hundred  reasons just to lie down  faceless
 leave  no traces

 and  no one knows just how
 you  could turn upside down
 you're  anything upright
 But  nothing passes you by
 
 Oh  yeah its what you show
 If  you're in a hurry  I'll dress you slow.
 Oh  yeah each  night
 nothing  passes you by

 Leave  the keys out, leave  a light on
 we're  open  all night
 
 You never thought that folks could dig their teeth in
 just to see if
 you could fight or if you'd cry
 All because you gave your cheeck up for the kissing
 its there for the kicking
 you just can't raise your eyes goodbye
 and  no one knows just how
 you  could turn upside down
 you're  anything upright
 Let  nothing pass you by

 To find the damage we done

 I fought for you like a doll from a tree
 I keep a straight stiched face
 As the ground makes a bed for me
 I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies

 You can run so long from sadness
 That you're never at home for the fun
 I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
 Thank god it ain't a sunday night

 I wrote down what I think
 On the head of a matchstick
 Wrote it all short and sweet
 All that made sense to me

 I burnt six thousand miles
 Sorry for all the times
 I just can't add up the songs
 To find the damage...

 I wrote down what I think
 On the head of a matchstick
 I wrote it all short and sweet
 All that made sense to me
 I'm burning out in the lights
 Sorry for all the times
 I just can't see how it comes
 To find the damage we done

 The damage we done
 The damage we done

but you just not sure if you're ever gonna get thru this yaer alone

he don't hold your hand
yeah just when you need
yeah, but you're sure that twinkle in his eye is just there for you but you
can't ignore
that he sure look slike your dad when he can still look straight at night
when he tucks you in and kisses your belly, and strokes your hair so you
just don't cry

leaves...

you sure wish you knew
who was on the half back flank
back twenty years when you won those flags on back to back

would sure make the stand-off make more sense
if yo ucould stand toe-to-toe on who took the bench
and not htis silent treatment that leaves you wondering if this baby's
heaven sent

it was the way she put her hand on her hip
and the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time

And we're running out of time
So drag this boy on over
And keep him til its light

Can we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Them birds do it
Them bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
