Kathleen Edwards - Asking For Flowers


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

G+G
It's complicated, technically I'm certified
 C majorC
A augmentedA walking declaration, of everything I couldn't get right
G+G
Time is just an anchor, but seven years I think I am right
C majorC
Now you've changed your number, it's like a noose around my life

PRE-CHORUS:
E minorEm
Every pill I took in vain
C majorC
Every meal for you I made
A minorAm            C majorC  D MajorD
Every penny I put away


CHORUS:
C majorC          G+G
Asking for flowers
    D MajorD        A minorAm
Is like asking you to be nice
   E minorEm         C majorC
Don't tell me you are too tired
A minorAm         C majorC    G+G     C majorC  G+G  C majorC
Ten years I've been working nights


  G+G
My life is like a picture left out too long in the sun
    C majorC
Now I'm trying to remember all the faces of the names I've loved
  G+G
And all that's left of me now is a cigarette burning bright
   C majorC
And a fading memory of all the things I tried to get right


PRE-CHORUS:
E minorEm
Every pill I took in vain
C majorC
Every meal for you I made
A minorAm              C majorC  D MajorD
Every plan I tried to make

CHORUS:
C majorC          G+G
Asking for flowers
    D MajorD        A minorAm
Is like asking you to be nice

Ten years I've been working nights

Every pill I took in vain
C majorC
Every meal for you I made
A minorAm
Every pill, I let it pain
C majorC
Every card I signed my name
E minorEm
Every time I poured my heart out
C majorC
Every threat you made to move out
A minorAm
Every cruel word you let just slip out

Every cruel word you let just slip out____
