Paper Plates chords by Naomi Raine

♫ Verse 1:
G                         C
I, I wake up and get to work
                             Em
I don't have time to make my bed
                 G             C
And I can't remember what you said
          C
Text me so I don't forget
   G                                C
I won't circle to find a parking spot
                             Em
I'd rather just pull into a lot
             G                C
Who cares about the money spent?

Living in the moment

So if it's not convenient
                          Em   D   C
If it's just gonna rain on my parade
                          Em   D   C
If it adds more work to what I've made
          D                                         G
Then I'd rather just eat all my meals on a paper plate


♫ Chorus:
G                                                   C
(Throw it away) Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
                              Em
I've always been so drawn to plastic
G                       C
I've been so uncomfortable
                               G
Working with what's in thesе cabinets
                                 C
Oh, I know I've got evеrything I need
                              Em
But it's easy to throw cares away
G                                  C
Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
                             G
I've always preferred paper plates


[Verse 2)
                                  C
You, you say I don't care how you feel
                                     Em
I say your feelings are real, but I can't
                G                    C
Can't find the space to squeeze them in

Too much in my head now
             Em   D   C
So if it's not relevant
                              Em      D    C
If it's just gonna get me to think too hard
                                  Em    D   C
If you're trying to make me put down my guard
                      D                         G
Then I'd rather just eat all alone on my paper plate


♫ Chorus:
G                                                  C
(Throw it away) Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
                               Em
I've always been so drawn to plastic
      G         C
I've been so uncomfortable
                             G
Working with what's in these cabinets
                                  C
Oh, I know I've got everything I need
                             Em
But it's easy to throw cares away
G                                   C
No, I never knew,no, I never knew why
                                G
I've always preferred paper plates

Throw it away, throw it away
         C
Throw it away
Throw it away
                       Em
I don't have time to waste, Throw it away
G                      C
Tuck it away, tuck it away
C
Just living in the moment


♫ Verse 3:
G                        C
I, I avoid the grit of life
                         Em
The responsibility and fight
           G             C
And my garbage piled so high
                       Em    D     C
Oh no, I can't hide from my feelings
                              Em    D   C
Gotta learn to deal with the rainy days (All those rainy days)
                           Em    D   C
If I don't do the work, I don't get paid
       D                                        G
So I'm tryin' to handle my heart in a healthy way


♫ Chorus:
                 G                                           C
(Don't want it to break) Oh, I never knew, no, I never knew why
                                Em
I've always been so drawn to plastic
      G                   C
And I've been so uncomfortable
                               G
Cleaning out what's in these cabinets
                                  C
Oh, I know I've got everything I need
                     Em
And life's not disposable
G                              C
I never knew, no, I never knew why
                              G
I've always preferred paper plates
