Chords

[Intro] A A A7 D Dm A E A E [Verse 1]
A
This reign of plastic

                 A7 
That replaced the reign of gold

              D          Dm
Couldn't have known that you

Dm
Would feel so undersold

   A
If love was built on hindsight

         E
Then you surely would have seen

         A 
You were joining hands

         E
With the Tupperware Queen
[Verse 2]
A
Yes you gave a groan

                 A7
When I took that throne

            D        Dm
But can you choose a Queen

Dm
When you behave like a drone

          A
Where the silverware's not expected

    E
And certainly never been

           A 
That's the ideal kingdom

        E
Of this Tupperware Queen
[Verse 3]
A
I didn't mean to fool you

             A7
Into feeling King

            D   Dm
Of anything but plastic

Dm
And what plastic brings

   A
If gold is what she had

     E
It's what I could've been

      A 
The unaffordable dream

        E
Of this Tupperware Queen
[Verse 4]
A
Yes you gave a groan

                 A7
When I took that throne

          D        Dm
But don't expect a gem

Dm
When you're quarrying for stone

          A
Where the silverware's not expected

    E
And certainty never been

           A 
That's the ideal kingdom

        E
Of this Tupperware Queen
[Verse 5]
A
In future when that moan

              A7
Has turned to prone

        D         Dm
And the slightest groan

Dm
Feels so overblown

   A
Remember you're a drone

        E
And the Queen however plastic

         A 
Runs the honeycomb

         E
Runs the honeycomb

           A7
Honeycomb, honey, honey

        D         Dm
Remember you're a drone

        E
And the Queen however plastic

         E
Runs the honeycomb
