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

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
