Artist: Owl City Album: All Things Bright And Beautiful Song: Plant Life [Verse 1]
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
[Pre-chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
F#m      E             D
I saw a bear in the den

F#m        E              D
Reading my textbooks again

    F#m              E                D
The bats flowed like traffic, as they poured from the attic

       F#m            D             E
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend
[Chorus]
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 your heartstrings, would you strum on mine

So I won't feel dead anymore
[Post-chorus 1]
     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

  Am        G       D
Tonight 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
