Broken Thumb
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G#
Australia, I wanna love you, But you make it so damn hard.
G#
Another day, sleep in late, Here I lay and there you are.
C C#
White washed news, The sunrise crew,
D# G#
Bicycles and passing cars.
G#
I walk to the kitchen, The house is empty,
G#
The sink is full but I'm ok,
G#
Is what I say as I water the plants, Listen to the wind dance,
C
Through the branches of a
C# D# G#
Big old tree.. it all feels so strange to me.
[Instrumental]
C C# D# G#
[Verse 2]
G#
And I broke my thumb, being dumb, Riding bikes got drunk last night,
G#
Played a gig, had a swig, And I thought I felt alright,
C C#
But then this morning, laying in bed,
D# G#
My thumb was bigger than my head.
G#
And I didn't know, what to do, I lay there and thought of you,
G#
About my mum so far away, Skipped uni again today,
C C#
Call in sick, tell a lie,
D# G#
Feel like I'm wasting my time.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G#
So I called my dad, we had a chat, It was nice to hear the crackle
G#
of his voice, gently, saying that he misses me,
C C#
And all the things, we used to do,
D# G#
And I said dad I miss you too.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G#
So I scroll though facebook, my news feed, Channel Seven curses me,
G#
Tells me kids should be taken away, They wanna repeat history,
C C#
Take everything, one's ever known,
D# G#
Another child without a home.
C C#
Taken away, torn apart,
D# G#
Thrown in the back seat of a car.
C C#
Australia, I wanna love you,
D# G#
But you make it so damn hard.
[Outro]
C C#
Australia, I wanna love you,
D# G#
But you make it so damn hard.
