CAPO: 3rd Fret

GHer green plastic watering Emcan
For her fake Chinese rubber Cplant
In the fake Gplastic Cearth
GThat she bought from a rubber Emman
In a town full of rubber Cplans
To get Grid of itCself
[Chorus]
It wears her Amout
It wears her Gout
It wears her Amout
It wears her Gout
[Verse 2]
GShe lives with a broken Emman
A cracked polystyrene Cman 
Who just Gcrumbles and Cburns
GHe used to do surgeEmry
For girls in the eighCties
But gravity Galways Cwins
[Chorus]
And it wears him Amout
It wears him Gout
It wears him Amout
It Gwears

And it wears me Amout
It wears me Gout
It wears me Amout
It wears me Gout
[Outro]
And if I could Ambe who you wanted
If I could Gbe who you wanted
All the Amtime
All the Gtime

Lori McKenna - Fake Plastic Trees

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[Verse 1]

G Em

Her green plastic watering can

For her fake Chinese rubber plant

G C

In the fake plastic earth

G Em

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

G C

To get rid of itself

[Chorus]

It wears her out

[Verse 2]

G Em

She lives with a broken man

A cracked polystyrene man

G C

Who just crumbles and burns

G Em

He used to do surgery

For girls in the eighties

G C

But gravity always wins

[Chorus]

And it wears him out

It wears him out

It wears

[Verse 3]

G Em

She looks like the real thing

She tastes like the real thing

G C

My fake plastic love

G Em

But I can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

G C

If I just turn and run

[Chorus]

And it wears me out

It wears me out

[Outro]

And if I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted

All the time
