Verse 1:
D6sus4
See my old man’s got a broken heart
    B minorBm       Asus4Asus4          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
   B minorBm         Asus4Asus4       G6sus4
That greedy thing burned more than the bush down

Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4       B minorBm    G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to forget
         Asus4Asus4        B minorBm        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
    B minorBm       Asus4Asus4          G6sus4
The tree, the egg, the nest, the breast, the yolk
     D6sus4                 G6sus4  D6sus4
When those thieving flames took my Grandad from my Pa
   B minorBm         Asus4Asus4       G6sus4
And ever since then we've been mending all those scars

Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4       B minorBm    G6sus4
But the bandages and ointments ain’t done yet
         Asus4Asus4        B minorBm        D6sus4   G6sus4   D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes

Verse 3:
D6sus4
That broken bird somehow grew
    B minorBm       Asus4Asus4          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
   B minorBm         Asus4Asus4       G6sus4
Yes he learned to dodge the books and he learned to dodge the fools

Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4       B minorBm    G6sus4
Said he made mistakes but lives with no regrets
         Asus4Asus4        B minorBm        D6sus4   G6sus4   D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes

Verse 4:
D6sus4
Grandma on Sunday, used to eat the chicken neck
    B minorBm       Asus4Asus4          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
         Asus4Asus4        B minorBm        D6sus4   G6sus4   D6sus4
She would go hungry for all of them, she'd go hungry for everyone

Chorus:
    Asus4Asus4       B minorBm    G6sus4
And now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket
         Asus4Asus4        B minorBm        D6sus4   G6sus4   D6sus4
He’s still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
