Ahhhhh
G A D Em7

[Verse 1]
          G             A           D             Em7
There's a flock of cockatoos in the outer eastern suburbs
     G                A             D              Em7
I am trying to not be anything I'll just listen to the birds
      G                   A             D          Em7
I can make it through the weekend, I am gonna live forever
         G                A         D                   Em7
If I can just see out the evening tomorrow I might feel better
          D        A
I've been handling things okay

[Hook]
G A D Em7
Ahhhhh
G A D Em7

[Verse 2]
     G         A           D               Em7
I am trying to be normal without any point of reference
  G               A              D              Em7
I remember things being simple I wanted to make a difference
         G                    A          D                Em7
If I can just get through the weekend, I might never have to die
     G               A                 D         Em7
If I can survive the evening I'll wake up and go outside


[Chorus]
          D        A           G
I've been handling things okay lately
          D         A           G
I whisper into your hair on the night bus
        Bm                      A
You say something about chips & gravy
     D                                   G
I am filled with hope by what the future holds for us


[Outro]
          D        A        G
I've been handling things okay lately
          D        A        G
I've been handling things okay lately
          D        A        G
I've been handling things okay lately
