Courtney Barnett – Avant Gardener (Guitar)

G
I sleep in late

G
Another day

F
Oh, what a wonder

C
Oh, what a waste

G
It's a Monday

G
It's so mundane

F
What exciting things

C
Will happen today?

G
The yard is full of hard rubbish, it's a mess and

F                           C
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab

G
We should amend that

G
I pull the sheets back

F
It's 40 degrees

C
And I feel like I'm dying

G
Life's getting hard in here

G
So I do some gardening

F                        C
Anything to take my mind away from where it's 'sposed to be

G
The nice lady next door talks of green beds

F                               C
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them

G
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps

F                          C
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes

G
I feel proactive

G
I pull out weeds

F
All of a sudden

    C                        G
I'm having trouble breathing in

                             F
I'm having trouble breathing in

    C                        G
I'm having trouble breathing in

                             F    C7  C
I'm having trouble breathing in

G
My hands are shaky

G
My knees are weak

F
I can't seem to stand

C
On my own two feet

G
I'm breathing but I'm wheezing

G
Feel like I'm emphysem-in

F
My throat feels like a funnel

             C
Filled with Weet-Bix and kerosene and

G
Oh no, next thing I know

G
They call up triple O

F                            C
I'd rather die than owe the hospital

G
I get adrenaline

G
Straight to the heart

F
I feel like Uma Thurman

     C
Post-overdosing kick start

G
Reminds me of the time

G
When I was really sick and I

F
Had too much pseudoephedrine and I

C
Couldn't sleep at night

G
Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent

F                                       C
He's probably wondering what I'm doing getting in an ambulance

G
The paramedic thinks I'm clever cos I play guitar

F                             C
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying

G
Anaphylactic and super hypochondriactic

F
Should've stayed in bed today

C
I much prefer the mundane

G
I take a hit from

G
An asthma puffer

F
I do it wrong

      C                     G
I was never good at smoking bongs

                               F
I'm not that good at breathing in

    C                          G
I'm not that good at breathing in

                               F    C7  C
I'm not that good at breathing in
