Little Plastic Castle — Ani DiFranco
Chords and lyrics for Little Plastic Castle by Ani DiFranco (key of G).
Verse 1
[Dsus2]In a coffee shop in a city
Which[G/B] is every coffee shop
In [Dsus2]every city
On a day which is [G/B]every day
[Dsus2]I picked up a magazine
Which[G/B] is every magazine
[Dsus2]Read a story then I forgot it right [G/B]away
Chorus
And they [Em]say [F#m]goldfish have no memory
I guess their [D]lives are much [G/B]like mine
And [Em]the [F#m]little plastic castle
[D]Is a [G/B]surprise every time
And [Em]it's hard to [F#m]say if they're happy
But [Dsus2]they don't [G/B]seem much to mind
Interlude
[Dsus2] [G/B]
Verse 2
From [Dsus2]the shape of your shaved head
I [G/B]recognized your silhouette
As you [Dsus2]walked out of the[G/B] sun and sat down
And [Dsus2]the sight of your sleepy [G/B]smile eclipsed all the other people
As [Dsus2]they paused to sneer at the two [G/B]girls from out of town
Chorus
And I [Em]said, [F#m]"look at you this morning
[D]You [G/B]are by far the cutest
[Em]But be [F#m]careful getting coffee
I think [D]these [G/B]people want to shoot us
Or [Em]maybe there's some kind [F#m]of local competition here
To [Dsus2]see [G/B]who can be the rudest"
Interlude
[Dsus2] [G/B]
Verse 3
[Dsus2]People talk about my image
[G/B]Like I come in two dimensions
[Dsus2]Like lipstick is a sign of[G/B] my declining mind
Like [Dsus2]what I happen to be wearing
The day [G/B]that someone takes a picture
Is my [Dsus2]new statement [G/B]for all womankind
Bridge
And[G/B] I wish they [Em]could see us now
In [D]leather [G]bras and rubber shorts
Like [G/B]some [Em]ridiculous new team uniform
For [D]some [G]ridiculous new sport
[G/B]Quick [Em]someone call the girl police
[Dsus2]And [G/B]file a report
Outro
[Dsus2] [G/B]
[Dsus2]In a coffee shop in a city
[G/B]Which is every coffee shop
In every[Dsus2] city
On a day which is [G/B]every day
