Intro: D |F#m7 | Em7 | |
D A Em7
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
D A Em7
Living in Queensland was not OK
D A Em7
Said he can't find the money just to pay the rent
D
And the food and the herb
A Em7
Well, they're just heaven sent
[Refrão]F#m7 G A Bm7
He's been living on the razor's edge
G A D
And trying to touch the Sun
G A Bm Bm7 Em7
And he wont fall for that same old trick again
Cathy's all right
she just gets lonely every day
She's living in a day
She's living in a dream world of yesterday
and there she is, and here she'll stay
"Well it just never worked out," she said anyway
She's been living on the razor's edge
And trying to touch the sun
And she wont fall for that same old trick again
Lulu's tired of living down beside Torquay
She's getting herself together financially
Says "One of these days I'm gonna lie in the sun
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?"
She's been living on the razor's edge
And trying to touch the sun
And she wont fall for that same old trick again
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
And the note just read "Please come to Byron Bay"
Well the heart say's "Go" and the head says "Stay"
And the big wheels just keep turning every day
Don't go living on the razor's edge
And trying to touch the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again
We're all living on the razor's edge
And trying to touch the sun
And we wont fall for that same old trick again
