PARAKEET
  
    G       F#m    E
You wake up in the morning
       D       C#        E
And fall out of your bed
  D      C#          E
Mean cats eat parakeets
  D            C      Eb
And this one's nearly dead
    G      F#m      E
You dearly wish the wind would shift
    D      C#      E
And greasy windows slide
D    C#      E
Open for the parakeet
      D       C      Eb
Who's colored bitter lime 
 
Em       C 
Open the window
    Am             Bm   D
And lift into your dreams
Em      C     Am             D   Ebm
Lately, baby, you can barely breathe.


  G      F#m       E
A broken wrist, an accident
D        C#          E
You know something's wrong
    D        C#               E
You fold the leavings of your past
D      C            Eb
No one knows you've gone
    G       F#m           E
The sunspot flares of the early nineties
D     C#      E
Light up your wings
    D        C#         E
And scan the short wave radio
     D        C     Eb
It's tracking outer rings



Em       C 
Open the window
    Am             Bm   D
And lift into your dreams
Em      C     Am                D   Ebm 
Lately, baby, you can't stop to breathe


    G     F#m     E
The tectonic dispatcher shifts
   D          C#    E
To smooth the ocean floor
    D        C#     E
And flattens out to warmer winds
   D          C     Eb
Of Brisbane's sunny shore
      G        F#m     E
Where Buddha's tend to mending wrists
  D        C#       E
A tea made from the leaves
   D    C#    E
Of eucalyptus fragrances
    D   C     Eb
And coriander seeds


Em       C 
Open the window
    Am             Bm   D
And lift into your dreams
Em      C     Am               D   Ebm 
Lately, baby, you can start to breathe

Em       C 
Open the window
    Am             Bm   D
And lift into your dreams
Em      C     Am               D   Ebm 
Lately, baby, you can start to breathe


    G       F#m    E
You wake up in the morning
   D       C#   E
To warm Pacific breeze
      D         C#      E
Where mean cats chew on liquorice
    D      C         Eb
And cannot climb the trees
