[Verse]
           G   
I sleep in late
        Gsus4
Another day  
   F      Gsus4  C
Oh what a wonder ■
          G    
Oh what a waste
       G     
It's a monday
        Gsus4  
It's so mundane
F             Gsus4 
What exciting things
G           C     G
Will happen today ■
                    G                           
The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
  F                    Gsus4         G             
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
                 G   
We should ammend that
                  F   
I pull the sheets back
     F            
It's forty degrees
G                   C     G
And i feel like i'm dying ■
                       G   
Life's getting hard in here
             G        
So i do some gardening
F                   Gsus4                            G    
Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be
                                       Gsus4
The nice lady next door talks of green beds 
G   F            Gsus4                             G   
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them


[Chorus]
                                   Gsus4
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps
F               Gsus4                  G       
Sunflowers bean sprouts sweet corn and radishes
       G        
I feel proactive
  Gsus4 F C     G    
I pull  ■ ■ out weeds
       F C G     
All of a ■ sudden
                             F 
I'm having trouble breathing in

[Verse]
             G    
My hands are shaky
             Gsus4
My knees are weak 
  F             G    
I can't seem to stand
          C        G
On my own two feet ■
                      G       
I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
              G          
Feel like i'm emphysemin'
          F                  
My throat feels like a funnel
Gsus4       G        C   G           
Filled with weetabix and kerosene and
      G                
Oh no next thing i know
                    Gsus4
They call up triple o    
    F               Gsus4           
I'd rather die than owe the hospital
F          G  
Till I get old
      G        
I get adrenalin
                F    
Straight to the heart


[Chorus]
  F                    
I feel like Uma Thurman
Gsus4          C    G    
Postoverdosing kick start
                  G   
Reminds me of the time
                           G
When i was really sick and i
             F             G    
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
C                 G    
Couldn't sleep at night
                                    Gsus4     
Halfway down high street andy looks ambivalent
              F                  Gsus4 G       C     G        
He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance


[Verse]
              G                                  
The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
  F                  G                         
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
             G                        
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
F                       G    
Should've stayed in bed today
       C          G      
I much prefer the mundane
             G   
I take a hit from
          G     
An asthma puffer
  F          
I do it wrong
G           C       G            
I was never good at smoking bongs
                     F         G 
I'm not that good at breathing in
