A
Well, it could be an ice-cream in the afternoon sun
E
It could be the cornflakes losing their crunch
D
It could be a lover, or a cheap bottle of a wine
A
Or it could be me, too, in a couple months time
A
It could be the birds singin' in the mornin'
E
Perhaps, I'll sleep in one day, there'll be nothin' but snoring
D
Wouldn't that be funny? Yes, wouldn't that be strange?
A
To wake up to a kookaburra snoozin' away
A
Or perhaps one fine morning, there'll be nothin' at all
E
The cars drivin' by, the kids off to school
D
It'll be you by yourself in a child's sizе bed
A
With your big ugly feet and your big ugly head
A
Oh, isn't it funny how things nevеr stay the same?
E
One day you'll wake up and it'll all feel strange
D
You'll be all by yourself in your cold little house
A
Just wonderin' what life was really about
A
Just wonderin' what you'd be like if ya mama's still close by
E
If you'd be proud of yourself by the time that you died
D
Or would you slip away slowly, in this cold little bed
A
With your big ugly feet and your big ugly head
A
Then one day you'll wake up next to your best mate
E
She'll be scratchin' her bum, she'll be snoozin' away
D
And you'll lay there for hours, yes, you'll lay there for days
A
Just wonderin' how the hell things turned out this way
A
And then your dad'll fly home from where it is that he lives
E
He'll fill your house up with groceries, tell you how much you've been missed
D
And ya nan'll call the next day, and the next day too
A
Just to say how bloody proud that she is o' you
A
Oh, isn't it funny? Yes, isn't it strange?
E
Something I've only realised with age
D
Starin' into an empty bottl' o' wine
A
Thinkin' some things don't last a very long time
A
Oh, isn't it funny? Yes, isn't it strange?
E
Something I've only realised with age
D
Starin' into an empty bottl' o' wine
A
Thinkin' some things don't last a very long time
