Verse1 with riff and key accents:
Em                         B
  Drive the Bowral road in autumn
  The gibs on fire like a red plum
  The burning colours beat the humdrum
   C         G
As time goes by

Verse2 Em B riff and keys:
I try to hold the vision slippery
The air is thickening in front of me
The scented gum, it's a sweet sanctuary
   C         G
As time goes by   Oh yeah

Chorus:
D                  A
  I've still got a clear eye
D                Em
  Bathed in soft sunlight
D                 C
  I'm feeling the magic of the day

The Chinese Empires' up and fighting
They got their weapons hi-tech spying
I get the feeling there's no hiding
   C         G
As time goes by


Verse4    Em B riff and keys:
The song of more is now a symphony
Conducted by the kings of gluttony
And as the centre melts in front of me
   C         G
As time goes by     By, by, by

Chorus:
D                  A
  Still living the high life
D               Em
  Chasing those bright lights
D                 C
  Pretending that everything's okay

D                   C
  Wrapped up in our own flag
D                 Em
  Can't carry our own swag
D          C
  Over the precipice, we sway, Yeah, yeah, yeah

  Can't carry our own swag
E          D
  Over the precipice, we sway

E                  B
  Still living the high life

  Chasing those bright lights
E                 D
  Pretending that everything's okay
