[Intro]
G G F C x4
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Instrumental]
G Dm C Bb F

G Dm F Bb C

G G F C x2

[Verse]
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
Till I get old
G
I get adrenaline
G
Straight to the heart
F
I feel like Uma Thurman
C
Post-overdosing kick start
[Verse]
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
