Plant Life

	  		

 

F#m      E            D 
I saw a ghost on the stairs 
    F#m            E          D 
And sheets on the tables and chairs 
    F#m         E            D          
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink 
     F#m          D            E 
Even so, I don't know what to think 


Bm        A       E 
I've been longing for 
D           A                E  
Daisies to push through the floor 
   Bm      A                G         D          
And I wish plant life would grow all around me 
   C            G           D 
So I won't feel dead anymore 
   C            G           D 
So I won't feel dead anymore 


F#m      E             D 
I saw a bear in the den 
F#m        E              D 
Reading my textbooks again 
     F#m              E                D 
That bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic 
       F#m            D             E 
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend 


A          Amaj7           Bm               D  
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest 
    A              A/C#       D           E 
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time 
A          Amaj7          Bm         D 
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus 
  Bm         A/C#           D                   E 
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?

     Bm        C         G                  D 
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet 
    F           C          D 
And give me a ghost of a smile 
Bm                C               G           D 
Show me your teeth 'cause you're teddy beneath 
   F              C             D 
So just grin and bear it a while 
F             C/E            D 
Just grin and bear it a while

   Am        G       D 
To-night I'm busting out 
   Bm       A       E    
Of this old haunted house 
           Am      G       D   
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for 
        Bm     A       G         D 
All the spider webs to grow all around me 
       C            G           D 
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore 
    C        Em            D  
And I'm not afraid anymore
