FAKE PLASTIC TREES

 

 

A                                 F#m                                 E          D

A green plastic watering can, for a fake Chinese rubber plant

             A          D

And fake plastic earth

A                                   F#m                                  E    D

She bought from a rubber man, in a town full of rubber plants

            A         D

To get rid of herself

                  Bm                      A

It wears her out, wears her out

                  Bm                     A

It wears her out, wears her out

 

 

She lives with a broken man, a cracked polystyrene man

 

Who just crumbles and burns

 

He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties

 

And gravity always wins

 

It wears him out, wears him out

                 Bm        D        A

It wears him out .... we-e-e-ears

 

 

She looks like a rarer thing, she tastes like a rarer thing

 

My fake plastic flower

 

But it can't help the feeling, I could blow thru the ceiling

 

And if I just turned and ran

 

It wears me out, wears me out

 

It wears me out, wears me out

               Bm                                       A

If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted

             Bm                 A

All the time,  All the time
