Asking For Flowers

Asking for Flowers

Kathleen Edwards

Capo on second fret

It’s complicated, technically I’m certified

A walking declaration, of everything I couldn’t get right

Time is just an anchor, But 7 years I think I am right

Now you’ve changed your number, it’s like a noose around my life

Every pill I took in vain,

every meal for your I made,

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,

10 years I’ve been working nights

My life’s like a picture left out in the sun too long

Now I’m trying to remember all the faces of the names I’ve Loved

And all that’s left of me now is a cigarette burning bright

And a fading memory of all the things I tried to get right

(Chorus)
