Avant Gardener
guitar chords lyrics
G
I sleep in late
G
Another day
F
Oh what a wonder
C
Oh what a waste.
G
Its a monday
G
Its so mundane
F
What exciting things
C
Will happen today?
G
The yard is full of hard rubbish its a mess and
F C
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
G
We should ammend that
G
I pull the sheets back
F
Its 40 degrees
C
And i feel like im dying.
G
Lifes getting hard in here
G
So i do some gardening
F C
Anything to take my mind away from where its 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 pro-active
G
I pull out weeds
F
All of a sudden
C
Im having trouble breathing in.
G D C Bb F
G D F Bb C
(x2)
G G F C
G
My hands are shaky
G
My knees are weak
F
I cant seem to stand
C
On my own two feet
G
Im breathing but im wheezing
G
Feel like im 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
Id rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
G
I get adrenalin
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 psuedoefedryn and i
C
Couldnt sleep at night
G
Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
F C
Hes probably wondering what im doing getting in an ambulance
G
The paramedic thinks im clever cos i play guitar
F C
I think shes clever cos she stops people dying
G
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
F
Shouldve 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
Im not that good at breathing in
C G
Im not that good at breathing in
F C
Im not that good at breathing in
