E                   G#7
   Once in a while, I turn the lights down
A7                          G#7
Slow enough to watch 'em rise up your skin, oh
E               G#7                       A7
   Some nights, I let the water run for miles over me
      G#7
For hours
    C#m7            G#7           A7         G#7
And everything keeps turning when I close my eyes
    C#m7              G#7         A7             G#7
And half the world's awake under a, a different sky

[Chorus]
         C#m7               G#7
Plastic people, plastic scissors
          A7                   G#7
I cut the heads off my action figures
              C#m7                 G#7
I'm playin' with fire, I'm burnin' bridges
A7                       G#7
   They melt just like plastic into liquid
C#m7             G#7   A7
   I tried to tell you
G#7                 C#m7  G#7   A7   G#7
  Baby I tried to tell, you
