1. Dominion Road is bending under its own weight,

                             C                         F      C      G

    shining like a strip, cut from a sheet metal plate,

                  F              G

    cos it’s just been raining.      + G - F - C

2.       Jane reached the point where she knew

                      F                         C                  G

    what he meant before he’d opened his mouth,

G                                  C

    he couldn’t say the same or he would’ve

       F                           C         G               F              G

    guessed she was moving south, with one of his friends.

 

G                           D                                C                 G

    But it’s getting better now, he found it in him to forgive,

                             D                  C                     G

    he walked the city, and he found a place to live

                         F#m                  C

    in a halfway house, halfway down Dominion Road.

3. He watched Jane’s brother sell the house, he felt no sense of loss,

                           C                                    F                   C            G

    more like a mountain-climber looking back having made it across

              F          G

    the steepest face.

 

G                              D                          C                             G

    Oh, but he’s still climbing, see him trying to cross the street,

                         D                            C                         G

    he tests his footing, like he was up ten thousand feet

                      F#m                   C

    above the clouds, halfway down Dominion Road.

    But he’s getting better now, he rests his head on the windowsill,

                               D                       C                   G

    he watches the city, sees the antennae in the hills

                                F#m                   C                         G

    from the halfway house, halfway down Dominion Road.

                    D                    Am                   C                         G

    Halfway down, halfway down, halfway down Dominion Road,

                   D                    Am                    C

    halfway down, halfway down, halfway down Dominion Road.
