[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
Sorry I'm late, but I bought these for you.
