On Any Other Day by The Police

A5                     A5       A5                 A5
Theres a house on my street, and it looks real neat.
F5                         F5
I'm the chap who lives in it.
Theres a tree on the sidewalk, theres a car by the door.
I'll go for a drive in it.
And when the wombat (??) comes, he will find me gone.
He'll look for a place to sit.

Chorus I:
G5   C5       A5          D5         G5
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs.
 C5   A5         D5      G5
The dog's just bit my leg.
C5    A5         D5           G5
My teen-aged daughter ran away.
C5    A5           D5             A5
My fine young son has turned out gay.

Cut up my fingers in the door of my car.
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me of her love affairs.
How could she do this to me?

Chorus I

Chorus II:
A5   G5        E5  B5    A5    G5    E5    B5
And it would be OK on any other day.  X2

Throw down the morning papers, and spill my tea.
I don't know whats wrong with me.
The cups and plates are in a conspiracy.
I'm covered in misery.

Chorus I
Chorus II X4  (w/ Chipmunk-like voice: "Happy birthday dear daddy")
