Verse 1:
G     Em      D
Noisy mynas bully the suburbs
G     Em      D
Out beyond the haze
G     Em      D
Seaside holiday houses lay
G     Em      D
Quiet as a grave
Em    G         D
Tombs of dreams past
Em      G       D
Wealth gone to waste
Em    G         D
The Australian dream is fading
G      Em     D
Stolen anyway

Chorus:
G
I’m never gonna lose my head
              Em
To a setting sun

That just can’t be done

Verse 2:
G               Em     D
Pavement’s too hot to walk on barefoot
G       Em      D
So you hop and skip
G         Em       D
Prawns in wheelie bins marinate
G       Em      D
A cocktail of stink
Em   G      D
Bat swaying on
Em   G      D
The power line
Em     G    D
Wings open in surrender
Em      G      D
This is how you die

That just can’t be done
G                                                Em
I’m never gonna say, never gonna do, never gonna be
G                                     Em
Anything more than what’s expected of me

It's true

It's true
G     D
It's true
G     D      D
It's true
