These guys are a really awesome band. I originally heard them on Triple J and instantly  
fell in love. This song is basically just 4 chords the whole way through.. simple to play.  
If you play the trumpet, the melody's simple to figure out. There's no guitar.. but it  
still sounds ok... Good fun to improvise over as well.. basically have fun with it. 
 
Ok.. here's the chords: 
 
Dm    Bb    F    Am7... and that's it..  
 
the words go a little like this... 
 
VERSE 1: 
    Dm                                        Bb 
Oh, I had nine lives but I lost all of them 
              F 
And I've been searching in the night  
                         Am7 (and so on)...       
And I've been searching in the rain 
I tried to find them, but they disappeared 
They walked away, they dressed in black 
They left my side and all I say is 
That I wasted time when I looked for them 
For now I know that things gone past  
Are never to be found again 
No never, never again 
I had nine lives but lost all of them... 
 
VERSE 2: 
I had a plan but never finished it 
And I've been searching for the thought 
And I've been searching in a haze  
I try all days, to remember it 
But now the blueprint in my mind has gone 
My mind forgot the colour of direction 
And my eyes they see the hands 
That could've built that could've constructed 
The empire in my mind 
The empire I'll never find 
I had a plan but that was where it ended....ended..... 
 
Depending on what version you have, various sections get repeated...
I'm sure you can work it out.
