Australia Chords & Lyrics by Amanda Palmer
Australia
guitar chords lyrics
Eb F
I could do the dishes while talking on the phone
Eb F
I could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone
Eb F
I could never do the dishes a single dish at a time
Eb F
It's too much of a commitment so I line them up and fire
Eb
I could calamine your insides
F
I could wind them all around me I could
Eb F
Tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see
Eb F
All the people do they see me I can wave or
Eb
I can carry all the dishes that they gave me that are
F
Keeping me steady
Bb F Gm
Or I could go to Australia
Eb F
Carry a bowie knife
Eb F Gm
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
F Eb
And learn card tricks and buy
Gm F Eb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and write
Gm F Eb
Songs about my bowie knife
Gm F Eb Gm
I could do these dishes I could try
F Eb
To do these dishes
Eb
I could try..
Eb Gm F
I could bake a cake
Bb F Eb
My kitchen is small but I could clear the space
Eb Gm F
I could write my name
Bb F Eb
Because practice makes perfect yes that's what they say
Eb F
I could make a button out of plaster
Eb
That said finished I could hang it in my closet
F
To the left side of a lightswitch
Eb F
I could walk down to Columbus and try drinking to forget it
Eb F
and then come home less afraid and then press it and press it
Bb F Gm
Or I could go to Australia
Eb F
Carry a bowie knife
Eb F Gm
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
F Eb
And learn card tricks and buy
Gm F Eb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
Gm F Eb
Eating things only with chopsticks and write
Gm F Eb
Songs about my bowie knife
Gm F Eb Gm
I could do these dishes I could try
F Eb
To do these dishes
Gm F Eb
I could decide to do these dishes
I could decide..
Bb F Gm
Or I could go to Australia
Eb
Carry a bowie knife
F Eb F
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
Gm F Eb
And learn card tricks and physics and buy
Gm F Eb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
Gm F Eb
Eating things only with chopsticks and finally
Gm F Eb
Be like a person I think you might like
Gm F Eb Gm
I could do these dishes I could try
F Eb
To do these dishes
Gm F Eb
I could decide to do these dishes
Gm F Eb
I could decide to do these dishes
F Eb
Time to DECIDE...
Fuck it
Bb F Gm Eb
I'm gonna go to Australia
Bb F Gm Eb
I'm gonna go to Australia
Bb F Gm Eb
I'm gonna go to Australia
Gm F Eb
She's gonna go to Australia
Eb Bb
Bye Bye!
