Asking for Flowers
Kathleen Edwards
Capo on second fret
G
It’s complicated, technically I’m certified
C
A walking declaration, of everything I couldn’t get right
G
Time is just an anchor, But 7 years I think I am right
C
Now you’ve changed your number, it’s like a noose around my life
Em
Every pill I took in vain,
C
every meal for your I made,
Am.................... C D
every penny I put away,
C..................G
Asking for flowers,
D............................Am
is like asking you to be nice
Em.............................C
Don’t tell me you are too tired,
Am...............................C G
10 years I’ve been working nights
G
My life’s like a picture left out in the sun too long
C
Now I’m trying to remember all the faces of the names I’ve Loved
G
And all that’s left of me now is a cigarette burning bright
C
And a fading memory of all the things I tried to get right
(Chorus)
