[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
He’s still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
[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
Asus4 Bm D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4
That greedy thing burned more than the bush down
[Outro]
Asus4 Bm G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to forget
Asus4 Bm G6sus4
You can bury the dead and try to live with no regrets
Asus4 Bm G6sus4
You can bury the dead and it's all gone to shit
Asus4 Bm D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4
Still waking up with Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
Asus4 Bm G6sus4
And now she's gone and it's hell in the hand basket
Asus4 Bm D6sus4 G6sus4 D6sus4
You’re still waking up to Coffee, Methadone and Cigarettes
