 On Any Other Day by The Police
 
 A                     A       A                 A   
 Theres a house on my street, and it looks real neat.
 F                         F  
 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:
 G   C       A          D         G    
 My wife has burned the scrambled eggs.
  C   A         D      G   
 The dog's just bit my leg.
 C    A         D           G   
 My teen-aged daughter ran away.
 C    A           D             A     
 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:
 A   G        E  B/A    A    G    E   B/A 
 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")
 
 The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
