Australia chords by Amanda Palmer

Chords with lyrics

Eb MajorEb              FF
I could do the dishes while talking on the phone
    Eb MajorEb              FF
I could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone
    Eb MajorEb              FF
I could never do the dishes a single dish at a time
     Eb MajorEb            FF
It's too much of a commitment so I line them up and fire

    Eb MajorEb
I could calamine your insides
    FF
I could wind them all around me I could
Eb MajorEb               FF
Tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see
    Eb MajorEb             FF
All the people do they see me I can wave or
          Eb MajorEb
I can carry all the dishes that they gave me that are
FF
Keeping me steady

Bb majorBb     FF    G minorGm
Or I could go to Australia
    Eb MajorEb   FF
Carry a bowie knife
      Eb MajorEb        FF       G minorGm
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
     FF        Eb MajorEb
And learn card tricks and buy
      G minorGm      FF     Eb MajorEb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and write
G minorGm     FF    Eb MajorEb
Songs about my bowie knife

G minorGm   FF    Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
I could do these dishes I could try
  FF     Eb MajorEb
To do these dishes

Eb MajorEb
I could try..

Eb MajorEb   G minorGm   FF
I could bake a cake
  Bb majorBb     FF             Eb MajorEb
My kitchen is small but I could clear the space
Eb MajorEb   G minorGm    FF
I could write my name
    Bb majorBb       FF              Eb MajorEb
Because practice makes perfect yes that's what they say

Eb MajorEb              FF
I could make a button out of plaster
              Eb MajorEb
That said finished I could hang it in my closet
    FF
To the left side of a lightswitch
    Eb MajorEb               FF
I could walk down to Columbus and try drinking to forget it
     Eb MajorEb               FF
and then come home less afraid and then press it and press it

Bb majorBb     FF    G minorGm
Or I could go to Australia
    Eb MajorEb   FF
Carry a bowie knife
      Eb MajorEb        FF       G minorGm
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
     FF        Eb MajorEb
And learn card tricks and buy
      G minorGm      FF     Eb MajorEb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
       G minorGm    FF        Eb MajorEb
Eating things only with chopsticks and write
G minorGm     FF    Eb MajorEb
Songs about my bowie knife

G minorGm   FF    Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
I could do these dishes I could try
  FF     Eb MajorEb
To do these dishes
     G minorGm   FF     Eb MajorEb
I could decide to do these dishes
I could decide..

Bb majorBb     FF    G minorGm
Or I could go to Australia
     Eb MajorEb
Carry a bowie knife
  FF         Eb MajorEb       FF
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
      G minorGm       FF      Eb MajorEb
And learn card tricks and physics and buy
      G minorGm      FF     Eb MajorEb
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
       G minorGm    FF        Eb MajorEb
Eating things only with chopsticks and finally
     G minorGm    FF        Eb MajorEb
Be like a person I think you might like

G minorGm   FF    Eb MajorEb       G minorGm
I could do these dishes I could try
  FF     Eb MajorEb
To do these dishes
     G minorGm   FF     Eb MajorEb
I could decide to do these dishes
     G minorGm   FF     Eb MajorEb
I could decide to do these dishes
FF    Eb MajorEb
Time to DECIDE...
Fuck it
Bb majorBb    FF    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb
I'm gonna go to Australia
Bb majorBb    FF    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb
I'm gonna go to Australia
Bb majorBb    FF    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb
I'm gonna go to Australia
G minorGm     FF    Eb MajorEb
She's gonna go to Australia
  Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
