Asking For Flowers by Kathleen Edwards



 



               Asking For Flowers









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)
