Death Cab for Cutie - "Styrofoam Plates" (Audio) chords
Start Jamming...
There's a saltwater [E] film on the jar of your ashes
I [F#] threw them [F#m] to sea, [D] but a gust blew [Bm] them backwards and [E] the sting in my eyes
That you then inflicted was par for the course just as when you were living
[A] It's no stretch to [E] say you were not quite a father
But [D] the donor of seeds to a poor single [Bm]
mother that [E] would raise us alone
We never saw the money [E] that went down your throat through the hole in your belly

dinner at [E] the Catholic Church
[A] The servers [E] wore crosses, [F] a shield from the sun for [E] us
Waking the others, [A] styrofoam plates, cafeteria [E]
tables
[F#m] Charity wreaths, [D] cheap wine [Bm] and paint
And [E] thinking of you, [A] you every [E]

But I won't buy it, I [A] won't join in the procession
At speaking their peace, using [F#m] five dollar words
Or praising his integrity [E] just cause he's gone
It doesn't change the fact he was [F] a classroom
In the life of [E] the classroom death, [F#m] yeah
One more,
