[Intro] D6sus4 D7 D6sus4 D6sus4 D6sus4 D7 D6sus4 D7 Bm/D D7 D6sus4 D7 D6sus4 D7 D6sus4 [Verse 1]
D6sus4
See my old man's got a broken heart

       Bm             Asus4                   G6sus4
Got a leaky valve and aneurysm, but you - you trace it back to the start

          D6sus4                                 G6sus4   D6sus4
When that big ol' fire came towards Nannup town

     Bm                  Asus4              G6sus4
That greedy thing burned more than the bush down
[Chorus]
        Asus4             Bm        G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to forget

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
He's still waking up with Coffee, Methadone & Cigarettes
[Verse 2]
D6sus4
In the summer of fifty-eight when innocence shattered and broke

       Bm             Asus4                   G6sus4
The tree, the egg, the nest, the breast, the yolk

          D6sus4                                 G6sus4   D6sus4
When those thieving flames took my Grandad from my Pa

     Bm                  Asus4              G6sus4
And ever since then we've been mending all those scars
[Chorus]
        Asus4             Bm        G6sus4
But the bandages and ointments ain't done yet

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
[Verse 3]
D6sus4
That broken bird somehow grew

       Bm             Asus4                   G6sus4
With the seven brothers and sisters moved from the country to the zoo

          D6sus4                                 G6sus4   D6sus4
Between the legacy visits and the boarding schools

     Bm                  Asus4              G6sus4
Yes he learned to dodge the books and he learned to dodge the fools
[Chorus]
        Asus4             Bm        G6sus4
Said he made mistakes but lives with no regrets

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
[Instrumental] D6sus4 Bm Asus4 G6sus4 D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4 Asus4 Bm D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4 Bm Asus4 G6sus4 Asus4 Bm G6sus4 Asus4 Bm D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4 [Verse 4]
D6sus4
Grandma on Sunday, used to eat the chicken neck

       Bm             Asus4                   G6sus4
She said she wasn't hungry and the kids could have the rest

          D6sus4                                 G6sus4   D6sus4
When those kids grew they learnt what she'd done

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
She would go hungry for all of them, she'd go hungry for everyone
[Chorus]
        Asus4             Bm        G6sus4
And now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
He's still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
[Verse 1]
D6sus4
See my old man's got a broken heart

       Bm             Asus4                   G6sus4
Got a leaky valve and aneurysm, but you - you trace it back to the start

          D6sus4                                 G6sus4   D6sus4
When that big ol' fire came towards Nannup town

                  Asus4                Bm                D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
That greedy thing burned more than the bush down
[Outro]
        Asus4             Bm        G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to forget

        Asus4             Bm               G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to live with no regrets

        Asus4             Bm               G6sus4
You can bury the dead and it's all gone to shit

             Asus4                Bm        D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes

              Asus4               Bm               G6sus4
And now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket

                   Asus4                Bm              D6sus4     G6sus4     D6sus4
You're still waking up to Coffee, Methadone  and Cigarettes
