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

        D 
I could calamine your insides
        Em
I could wind them all around me I could
D                              Em
Tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see
        D                          Em
All the people do they see me I can wave or
                    D 
I can carry all the dishes that they gave me that are
Em
Keeping me steady

A          Em      F#m
Or I could go to Australia
        D       Em
Carry a bowie knife
            D                Em             F#m
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
          Em               D
And learn card tricks and buy
           F#m           Em          D                
Everyone drinks and take boxing and write
F#m         Em        D
Songs about my bowie knife

F#m     Em       D              Gm
I could do these dishes I could try
   Em        D
To do these dishes

D           
I could try..

D      F#m    Em
I could bake a cake
    A          Em                         D
My kitchen is small but I could clear the space
Eb     F#m       Em
I could write my name
        A              Em                           D
Because practice makes perfect yes that's what they say

D                            Em
I could make a button out of plaster
                           D
That said finished I could hang it in my closet
       Em
To the left side of a lightswitch
        D                             Em
I could walk down to Columbus and try drinking to forget it
         D                             Em
and then come home less afraid and then press it and press it

A          Em      F#m
Or I could go to Australia
        D      Em
Carry a bowie knife
            D                Em             F#m
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
          Em              D
And learn card tricks and buy
           F#m           Em         D                
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
              F#m       Em              D
Eating things only with chopsticks and write
F#m         Em       D
Songs about my bowie knife


F#m     Em       D              F#m
I could do these dishes I could try
   Em        D
To do these dishes
          F#m     Em        D
I could decide to do these dishes
I could decide..

A          Em      F#m
Or I could go to Australia
         D      
Carry a bowie knife
    Em                D              Em               
And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side
           F#m            Em           D
And learn card tricks and physics and buy
           F#m           Em         D                
Everyone drinks and take boxing and try
              F#m       Em              D
Eating things only with chopsticks and finally
          F#m      Em              D
Be like a person I think you might like

F#m     Em       D               F#m
I could do these dishes I could try
   Em        D
To do these dishes
          F#m     Em        D
I could decide to do these dishes
          F#m     Em        D
I could decide to do these dishes
Em      D
Time to DECIDE...
Fuck it
A         Em      F#m    D
I'm gonna go to Australia
A         Em      F#m    D
I'm gonna go to Australia
A         Em      F#m    D
I'm gonna go to Australia
F#m         Em      D
She's gonna go to Australia
    D   A
Bye Bye!
