Intro
A E Dmaj7 Dadd9
A E Dadd9
A E Dmaj7 D
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
A E Dmaj7 Dadd9
Busted tooth and a smile
A E Dmaj7 D
And cigarette ashes in her drink
A E Dmaj7 Dadd9
The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a week
A E Dadd9
The kind that goes out on her own
A E Dmaj7 D
To give me a reason, for well, I don't know
G+b D
And maybe she'd take me to France
Esus4 E7sus4 A
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
G+b D
In a mansion on the top of a hill
Esus4 A
She'd ash on the carpets and slip me a pill
G+b D
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
B7sus4 A
And maybe she'd give me a bath
F# B7sus4 E
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
A E Dmaj7 D
And she and I would sleep on a boat
A E Dmaj7 Dadd9
And swim in the sea without clothes
A E Dmaj7 D
With rain falling fast on the sea
A E Dmaj7 Dadd9
While she was swimming away, she'd be winking at me
A E Dadd9
Telling me it would all be okay
A E Dmaj7 D
Out on the horizon and fading away
A E Dadd9
And I'd swim to the boat and I'd laugh
F# B7sus4 E
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath
G+b D
And maybe she'd take me to France
Esus4 E7sus4 A
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
G+b D
In a mansion on the top of a hill
Esus4 A
She'd ash on the carpets and slip me a pill
G+b D
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
B7sus4 A
And maybe she'd give me a bath
F# B7sus4 E
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
F# B7sus4 E
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
