Plastic Flowers chords by Erick Baker

[Intro]
C  F  C  F

[Verse 1]
            C
The sink is empty
              F
It still leaks water
           C
I count the time
              F
by every drop that falls.
            C
The grass is high,
       F
how you like it.
     C
I can see it,
              F
going away it goes now.
   Dm
The screen door
       F
screamin' at me
        C
it's the only
                          G
thing I have talked to in days.
         Am
Sorry I'm late,
    F              C
but I bought these for you.

[Chorus]

        Am
Plastic flowers
F          C
for your bed.
        Am
Some day soon,
F               C
I'll be by your side.
          Am
And your flowers
F           C
will never die.


[Verse 2]


    C
Our house smells,
          F
like burnt coffee.
 C
I always
          F
save a cup for you.
                Dm
I can't turn the light off,
        F
to your closet.
      C
Or the room,
                      G
where you taught me to love.
         Am
Sorry I'm late,
F                     C
but I bought these for you.

[Chorus]

       Am
Plastic flowers
F        C
for your bed.
        Am
Some day soon,
F         C
I'll be by your side.
        Am
And your flowers,
F         C
will never die.
C         Am       F              C
