Fake Plastic Trees chords
Start Jamming...
[A] A green plastic watering [D] can
For a fake Chinese [E] rubber [D] band
And a fake [A] plastic
[D] gun
[A] That she bought from a rubber [D] man
[F#m] [D] And a town full [E] of rubber [D] bands
To get [A] rid of [D] herself
[A] The [Bm] world's a road
The [A]
world's a road
The world's a [Bm] road
The [A] world's a road
She lives with a broken [F#m] mind
A crackpot, a [E] styrian [D] mind
Or just [A] crumbles
[D] Used [A]
to do surgery
[F#m] For girls in [A] the 80's
[D] But gravity [A] always
[D] wins
[A] And the world's a road
[Bm] The [A]
world's a road
The [Bm] world's a road
[A]
Where's the truth?
She looks like the real [F#m] thing
She tastes [D] like the [E] real [D] thing
A [A] fake plastic
[D] love
But
[A] I can't help the feeling
[D] I can blow through the [E] ceiling
[D] If I [A] just take [D] a run
And it wears [A] me [Bm] out
[A] It wears me out
It wears [Bm] me out
It [A] wears me out
And if I could [Bm] be
Who you wanted
If I could [A] be
Who you wanted
[B] All the [Bm] time
All [A] the time
[E] [A] [Bm] [D] [A]

[Bm] [E] [D] [A]
