D G [Chorus]D G D Kilometres are still miles to meG A They separate from home and familyG A Now I can't count the white posts,D G They're not where they used to be,D A D Kilometres are still miles to me [Verse 1]Bm Oh, it used to be five hundredG D From Melbourne to Sydney Town,G D Now it seems longerA Every time the run comes 'round.G A But I just keep a-churning onD G And stand on my two feetA But I'm weighed down in metrics,D Strange figures get me beat [Chorus]D G D Yes, kilometres are still miles to meG A They separate from home and familyG A Now I can't count the white posts,D G They're not where they used to be,D A D Kilometres are still miles to me [Break]G A D G D A D [Verse 2]Bm The familiar signs are goneG D And I'm wondering why.G D I know the dog is stillA Five miles from Gundagai.G A Pumping litres more than gallonsD G Into this old rigA And my seven-ounce at the end of the dayD Is two hundred mils too big [Chorus]D G D Yes, kilometres are still miles to meG A They separate from home and familyG A Now I can't count the white posts,D G They're not where they used to be,D A D Kilometres are still miles to me [Outro]G A Now I can't count the white posts,D G They're not where they used to be,D A D Kilometres are still miles to me
