D#         A#/D
Oh, little plant
           G#
You've got no chance
D# A#/D     G#
Oh, little plant
You've seen the work
You've danced the dance
Front line fodder
For someone else's romance
Eye for an eye
Or some other insignificance
Sycamore floating by while you were
Making other plans
Oh, little plant
Oh, little plant

Fm      D#           G#
But you wanted to be more
           C#  Fm
And that's ordinary
         D#             G#
Put your hand in the machine
         C#        Fm
Can you hold it steady?
                     D#
They were watching sunsets
           G#             C#
You were straining for a vision
Fm           D#            C#
Muddy is the water in the ground
Fm           D#        C#
Muddy is the water anyhow

But you wanted to be more
And that's ordinary
Put your hand in the machine
Can you hold it steady?
They were watching sunsets
You were straining for a vision
Muddy is the water anyhow
Muddy is the water anyhow
