And for the mods, Dean was a huge star, mostly in the UK, back in the 1980s. 
Obviously, though, he hasn't been very popular since.

C#                    F#                   C#               B   
Potted plants hanging down from the ceiling, creeping up my windowsill.
       Bb                     Eb              Ab
If the cats don't get 'em the winter wind will.
   E                  F#                    Ab
But I am a fool and I water them everyday.

A                  E
Have some faith in what's-his-name
    C#m                 Bm        
The deck is stacked but just the same,
    A             C#m              F#m      F# 
I'd rather lose a hand of hearts I swear,
        A               Am                 
Than to win a round,
               Ab
of Solitaire.

Both of us drink from a fountain of feeling, waiting for the blood to spill.
       Bb                           Eb                   Ab
If the doubts don't get us then the apathy will.
    E                 F#                       Ab
But I am a fool and I worship you everyday.

Hiding the hurt or fighting and bickering, thinking that we've had our fill.
       Bb                     Eb                  Ab
If the lies don't do it then the honesty will.
    E                 F#                     Ab
But I am a fool and I water you everyday.
