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)
