Styrofoam Plates chords by Death Cab for Cutie
Verse 1
G
There's a saltwater film
on the jar of your ashes
Em
I threw them to sea,
C
F
but a gust blew them backwards
D
And the sting in my eyes,
which you then inflicted
Eb
Was par for the course,
D
just as when you were living
G
It's no stretch to say you were
Dsus4
G
not quite a father
C
But a donor of seeds to
a poor single mother
F
D
That would raise us alone,
Dsus4
D
we never saw the money
Eb
That went down your throat through the
D
hole in your belly

Verse 2
G
Thirteen years old in
the suburbs of Denver
C
Standing in line for Thanksgiving dinner
D
At the Catholic church,
the servers wore crosses
Eb
D
To shield from the sufferance plaguing
G
the others
Styrofoam plates, cafeteria tables
Em
C
Charity reeks of cheap wine and pity
D
And I'm thinking of you,
I do every year
Eb
D
When we count all our blessings and wonder what we're doing here

Verse 3
G
You're a disgrace to the
concept of family
Em
The priest won't divulge
C
that fact in his homily
D
And I'll stand up and scream
if the mourning remain quiet
A
Eb
D
You can deck out a lie in a suit,
but I won't buy it
G
I won't join in the procession
that's speaking their piece
Em
G
Using five-dollar words words
C
while praising his integrity
D
And just 'cause he's gone,
G
D
it doesn't change the fact
A
Eb
D
He was a bastard in life, thus, a bastard in death,
