Plant Life by Owl City
Plant Life
Capo: 3
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?
Instrumental (x2): Bm F#m A E
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
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
G Gmaj7 Am C
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
G G/B C D
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
G Gmaj7 Am C
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
Am G/B C D
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?
Instrumental (x2): Am Em G D
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
G Gmaj7 Am C
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
G G/B C D
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
G Gmaj7 Am C
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
Am G/B C D
If I were to pluck on their heartstrings would you strum on mine?
