CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C G C
[G]It's complicated, technically I'm certified
A [C]walking declaration, of everything I couldn't get right
[G]Time is just an anchor, but seven years I think I am right
[C]Now you've changed your number, it's like a noose around my life
PRE-CHORUS:
[Em]Every pill I took in vain
[C]Every meal for you I made
[Am]Every penny I put away[C][D]
CHORUS:
[C]Asking for flowers[G]
Is like [D]asking you to be [Am]nice
Don't [Em]tell me you are too [C]tired
[Am]Ten years I've been [C]working [G]nights[C][G][C]
My [G]life is like a picture left out too long in the sun
Now I'm [C]trying to remember all the faces of the names I've loved
And [G]all that's left of me now is a cigarette burning bright
And a [C]fading memory of all the things I tried to get right
PRE-CHORUS:
[Em]Every pill I took in vain
[C]Every meal for you I made
[Am]Every plan I tried to make[C][D]
CHORUS:
[C]Asking for flowers[G]

PRE-CHORUS:
[Em]Every pill I took in vain
[C]Every meal for you I made
[Am]Every pill, I let it pain
[C]Every card I signed my name
[Em]Every time I poured my heart out
[C]Every threat you made to move out
[Am]Every cruel word you let just slip out
[C]Every cruel word you let just slip out_[Em]___
