Ani DiFranco – Little Plastic Castles (Guitar)

     D                A
In a coffee shop in a city

         D            G
Which is every coffee shop

         D          A                  D
In every city, on a day which is every day

  D               A
I picked up a magazine

         D         G
Which is every magazine

       D               A            D
Read a story then I forgot it right away

         Bm               A
They say goldfish have no memory

              D                   G
I guess their lives are much like mine

        Bm             A
And the little plastic castle

        D           G
Is a surprise every time

         Bm                     A
And it's hard to say if they're happy

         D                  G
But they don't seem much to mind

G
(Yee-haw)

         D                    A
From the shape of your shaved head

       D                G
I recognized your silhouette

       D                 A           D
As you walked out of the sun and sat down

        D                    A
And the sight of your sleepy smile

         D             G
Eclipsed all the other people

        D                      A                     D
As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town

             Bm               A
And I said, "Look at you this morning

    D              G
You are by far the cutest

       Bm              A
But be careful getting coffee

              D              G
I think these people want to shoot us

                 Bm                      A
Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here

       D              G
To see who can be the rudest"

G
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

       D             A
People talk about my image

       D             G
Like I come in two dimensions

     D             A                    D
Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind

            D            A
Like what I happen to be wearing

             D               G
The day that someone takes a picture

          D             A        D
Is my new statement for all womankind

           Bm                A
And I wish they could see us now

           D               G
In leather bras and rubber shorts

          Bm                  A
Like some ridiculous new team uniform

           D            G
For some ridiculous new sport

      Bm               A
Quick someone call the girl police

         D        G
And, and file a report

G
(Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, uh)

     D                A
In a coffee shop in a city

         D            G
Which is every coffee shop

         D          A                  D
In every city, on a day which is every day
