               D#
I've given you sunshine
               Gm -
I've given you dirt.
       D#7  -   G#
You've given me nothing
                  Adim
But heartache and hurt.
                D#/A#
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
               G#m/B
I'm down on my knees.
    F/C             A#/D - A# -
Oh, please-grow for me!


               D#
I've given you plant food
             Gm -
And water to sip.
     D#7   -   G#
I've given you potash.
                Adim
You've given me zip.
              D#/A#
Oh God, how I mist you
                 G#m/B
Oh pod, how you tease
    F/C - A#7 -
Oh, please-
         D#
grow for me!


               Edim
I've given you southern exposure
   Fm
To get you to thrive.
                      F#dim
I've pinched you back hard,
Like I'm s'posed ta.
       D#/G -
You're barely alive.
     D#7     -    G#    -   Adim* -
I've tried you at levels of moisture
     D#/A#--E7b9--Cm -
From desert to mud.
     F7
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements.
A#7
What do you want from me- Blood?



               D#
I've given you sunlight.
               Gm -
I've given you rain.
      D#7       -     G#
Looks like you're not happy,
               Adim
'Less I open a vein.
                D#/A#
I'll give you a few drops
             G#m/B
If that'll appease.
    F7/C - F7 -
Now please-
   A#7
oh please-
         D# - E/D# - F/D# - F#/D# - G/D# -- G#/D# -- A/D# -- A#/D# -- D#
grow for me!
