CAPO: 2nd FretINTRO: G C G C
It’s complicated, technically I’m certified
A walking declaration, of everything I couldn’t get right
Time is just an anchor, but seven years I think I am right
Now you’ve changed your number, it’s like a noose around my life
PRE-CHORUS:
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every penny I put away
CHORUS:
Asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don’t tell me you are too tired
Ten years I’ve been working nights
My life is like a picture left out too long in the sun
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
PRE-CHORUS:
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every plan I tried to make
CHORUS:
Asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don’t tell me you are too tired
Ten years I’ve been working nights
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C Em C Am C
PRE-CHORUS:
Every pill I took in vain
Every meal for you I made
Every pill, I let it pain
Every card I signed my name
Every time I poured my heart out
Every threat you made to move out
Every cruel word you let just slip out
Every cruel word you let just slip out____
INSTRUMENTAL: Em C Am C D
CHORUS:
Asking for flowers
Is like asking you to be nice
Don’t tell me you are too tired
Ten years I’ve been working nights
Don’t tell me you are too tired
Ten years I’ve been working nights
