Transcribed by Dan Meijer The regular pattern of the intro is duplicated in the verses, while the vocal phrasing has Tim's trademark of being a bit different in each time. Listen to the song to see how it goes.The verse, bridge 1, and chorus progressions simply repeat. Intro: x2 Verse: I shouldn't have driven You shouldn't have driven But we got there and had a good time So we left the car and the cabbie was from a war zone Bridge 1: We were glad he was driving us home I was glad about that mood We took it on, we took it on board I said Chorus: Thank you For loving me at my worst If this isn't love it's very close Can you hear the world it's waking up Can we be crazy for a few more years? have I got them in me? Verse (same progression): Bought myself one of them keyboard axes Wanted to get out and dance away from the piano That could have been the beginning of the end If I wasn't already in the middle Bridge 1 (same progression): The crowd was confused, and then they cheered and my career was back on track I was relieved and full of love for the people and I said Chorus (same progression): Thank you, each and every one of you For loving at me at my worst If this isn't love it's very close Can you hear the world it's waking up Can we be crazy for a few more years? have I got them in me? Bridge 2: All you bright and middle-aged things Attending your sons and daughters Spare a thought for me out here with the kids To hell with your bricks and mortar! It's you and me and the holy ghost On the road we're all heading down the coast We're better sorry than safe when we count the cost We're better sorry than safe when we count the cost Verse (same progression): There's a bar out east, it's called The Scrum Only red wine and the finest of cigars If we leave now we'll still get in You could find yourself a young consort Bridge 1 (same progression): Writers of unpopular fiction trying to drink more Than bikies who've all left their beards at the door They smoke all the wine and drink all the beer and say... Chorus (same progression): Thank you, each and every one of you For loving at me at my worst ... For loving at me at my worst If this isn't love it's very close Can you hear the world it's waking up Can we be crazy for a few more years? have I got them in me? If this isn't love it's very close Can you hear the world it's waking up Can we be crazy for a few more years? have I got them in me? If this isn't love it's very close If this isn't love it's very close Can you hear the world it's waking up...?
