G                          Em
Her green plastic watering can
                            C
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
            G       C
In the fake plastic earth
G                             Em 
That she bought from a rubber man
                         C 
In a town full of rubber plans
       G        C 
To get rid of itself
 

[Chorus]
             Am
It wears her out
             G
It wears her out
             Am
It wears her out
             G
It wears her out
 

[Verse 2]
G                       Em
She lives with a broken man
                      C  
A cracked polystyrene man 
         G            C  
Who just crumbles and burns
G                  Em
He used to do surgery
                     C  
For girls in the eighties
            G      C 
But gravity always wins
 

[Chorus]
                 Am 
And it wears him out
             G
It wears him out
             Am
It wears him out
   G 
It wears
 

[Verse 3]
G                       Em
She looks like the real thing
                         C
She tastes like the real thing
        G       C    
My fake plastic love
G                        Em
But I can't help the feeling
                             C
I could blow through the ceiling
          G        C
If I just turn and run


[Chorus]
                Am
And it wears me out
            G
It wears me out
            Am
It wears me out
            G 
It wears me out


[Outro]
               Am
And if I could be who you wanted
           G
If I could be who you wanted
        Am
All the time
        G
All the time
