Amanda Palmer – Australia chords

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

        EbI could calamine your insides
        FI could wind them all around me I could
Eb                             FTiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see
        Eb                         FAll the people do they see me I can wave or
                    EbI can carry all the dishes that they gave me that are
FKeeping me steady

Bb         F       GmOr I could go to Australia
        Eb      FCarry a bowie knife
            Eb                F             GmAnd wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
          F               EbAnd learn card tricks and buy
           Gm            F          Eb                Everyone drinks and take boxing and write
Gm          F        EbSongs about my bowie knife

Gm      F        Eb              GmI could do these dishes I could try
   F         EbTo do these dishes

Eb            I could try..

Eb      Gm     FI could bake a cake
    Bb         F                          EbMy kitchen is small but I could clear the space
Eb     Gm        FI could write my name
        Bb             F                            EbBecause practice makes perfect yes that's what they say

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

Bb         F       GmOr I could go to Australia
        Eb      FCarry a bowie knife
            Eb                F             GmAnd wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
          F               EbAnd learn card tricks and buy
           Gm            F          Eb                Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
              Gm        F               EbEating things only with chopsticks and write
Gm          F        EbSongs about my bowie knife


Gm      F        Eb              GmI could do these dishes I could try
   F         EbTo do these dishes
          Gm      F         EbI could decide to do these dishes
I could decide..

Bb         F       GmOr I could go to Australia
         Eb      Carry a bowie knife
    F                 Eb             F                And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
           Gm             F            EbAnd learn card tricks and physics and buy
           Gm            F          Eb                Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
              Gm        F               EbEating things only with chopsticks and finally
          Gm       F               EbBe like a person I think you might like

Gm      F        Eb              GmI could do these dishes I could try
   F         EbTo do these dishes
          Gm      F         EbI could decide to do these dishes
          Gm      F         EbI could decide to do these dishes
F       EbTime to DECIDE...
