Kathleen Edwards - Asking For Flowers Ukulele

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)
