Tom : C
C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty
Otherwise I'd hate that city
F
The only place my heart's been torn in two
C
Always worth the lengthy flight
And sometimes the warm sleepless nights
F
There's no such thing as coming back too soon
[Chorus]
G
A different situation I don't know
When I have some more, the standard's low
Am
I still can't recover from the way you let me down
G
I mean, you got a new girl, yeah, that's fine
But I think about it all the time
Am G C G D G
I resent the way you made me love your western town
[Verse]
C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty
Otherwise I'd hate that city
F
Isolated from my eastern life
C
Bands and bars on widened streets
Where beaches meet the urban heat
F
And people seem to be friendly and nice
[Chorus]
G
I know I should probably let it go
But it's only now I finally know
Am Am7 Am
That you were only trouble looking for a place to stay
G
Yeah, I got to visit somewhere new
Now forever tainted with thoughts of you
Am C G D G
Didn't even get an inadvertent holiday
[Bridge]
C
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
F G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
C
Em (?) C G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
F G
Ahoooooo oh oh oh oh
[Outro]
C
Perth is lucky that she's pretty
C
Otherwise I'd hate that city
C
Hate this city, love this city
C
N.C.
Perth, you're lucky you're so pretty
