Fake Plastic Trees

A           A4      D7M(9)/F#
The green plastic watering can
D7M(9)/F#         E6    D2
For a fake Chinese rubber plant
         A     D2
In a fake plastic earth
A           A4      D7M(9)/F#
That she bought from a rubber man
D7M(9)/F#            E6     D2
In a town full of rubber plans
     A     D2
To get rid of itself

      Bm7(11)
It wears her out
        A
It wears her out
      Bm7(11)
It wears her out
        A
It wears her out

A           A4      D7M(9)/F#
She lives with a broken man
D7M(9)/F#        E6   D2
A cracked polystyrene man
      A      D2
Who just crumbles and burns
A        A4     D7M(9)/F#
He used to do sur - gery
D7M(9)/F#          E6      D2
For girls in the eight - ies
       A     D2
But gravity always wins

         Bm7(11)
And it wears him out
        A
It wears him out
        Bm7(11)
It wears him out

       A
It we - e - ars

A            A4      D7M(9)/F#
She looks like the real thing
D7M(9)/F#           E6     D2
She tastes like the real thing
       A    D2
My fake plastic love
A             A4       D7M(9)/F#
But I can't help the feeling
D7M(9)/F#          E6     D2
I could blow through the cei - ling
        A     D2
If I just turn and run

        Bm7(11)
And it wears me out
        A
It wears me out
       Bm7(11)
It wears me out
        A
It wears me out

          Bm7(11)
And if I could be who you wanted
        A
If I could be who you wanted
E6        Bm7(11)
All the time
E6        Bm7(11)
All the time
Bm7(11)   A  Bm7(11)   A
Mmmm  mmmm  mmmm
