Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Styrofoam Plates” dari Death Cab for Cutie.

[Verse 1]
                Asus2
There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes
   F#m
I threw them to sea but a gust blew them backwards
               E
And the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted
        F                                        E
Was par for the course just as when you were living

[Verse 2]
       Asus2
It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father
          F#m
But a donor of seeds to a poor single mother
                    E
That would raise us alone, we never saw the money that
         F                                                       E
That went down your throat through the hole in your belly

Asus2 F#m E F E

[Verse 3]
Asus2
Thirteen years old in the suburbs of Denver
F#m
Standing in line for Thanksgiving dinner
             E
At the Catholic church, the servers wore crosses
      F                                          E
To shield from the sufferance plaguing the others

[Verse 4]
Asus2
Styrofoam plates, cafeteria tables
F#m
Charity reeks of cheap wine and pity
               E
And I'm thinking of you, I do every year
                F                                           E
When we count all our blessings and wonder what we're doing here

[Interlude]
A x20

[Verse 5]
Asus2
You're a disgrace to the concept of family
        F#m
The priest won't divulge that fact in his homily
      E
I'll stand up and scream if the mourning remain quiet
               F                            E
You can deck out a lie in a suit but I won't buy it

[Verse 6]
            Asus2
I won't join in the procession that's speaking their peace
           F#m
Using five dollar words while praising his integrity
         E
And just cause he's gone it doesn't change the fact
                F                                 E
He was a bastard in life thus a bastard in death, yeah

[Outro]
