Lyrics

[Intro]
D              G     A               D                Bm
 I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic
            E7
And I cursed
                  A7        D
the ground for growing green
D              G     A              F#              Bm
 I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic And
        E7
I cursed
                A7      D
my tongue for being mean

[Verse]
    Em                     Bm
And weightless, breathless restitute
Em             Bm
Motionless and absolute
    Em
You cut me open,
Bm                E                  F#
sucked the poison from an aging wound
    Em             Bm
Now fifty thousand war cadets
      Em                 Bm
Would cower at this small  brunette
   Em                  Bm
To my surprise, not six  feet high
           F#
Who'd reach  and grab the moon if I should

[Chorus]
   Bm             F#
Ask  or just imply
          F#m                 E
That I wanted a bit more light
               G
So I could look inside his eyes
            Gm
And get the colors just right

[Interlude]
     Dm          Bb     Gm
Just right, just right, just
Dm Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm
Dm Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm
Dm Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm
Dm Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm
Dm Bb Gm

[Outro]
Dm      Gm                     A7
  Build love, build God, build provinces
      Dm
Build calluses, break promises
       Gm                A7               Dm
'Cause I could never hold  a perfect thing  and not
demolish it
          Gm                       A7
What am I thinking? What does this mean?
              Dm            F
How could somebody ever love me?
Gm
Talk to your man,
                  A
tell him he's got bad news comin'
