Plant Life by Matthew Thiessen
Plant Life
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
F#m E D
I saw a bear in the den
F#m E D
Reading my textbooks again
F#m E D
The bats flowed like traffic, as they poured from the attic
F#m D E
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend
[Chorus]
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 your heartstrings, would you strum on mine
[Instrumental] (x2)

[Post-chorus 1]
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
Tonight I''m busting out
Bm A E
Of this old haunted house

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
