INTRO: G C G C
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 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 C D
Every penny I put away
CHORUS:
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 C G C
Ten years I've been working nights
G
My life is like a picture left out too long in the sun
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

Em
Every pill I took in vain
C
Every meal for you I made
Am C D
Every plan I tried to make
CHORUS:

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

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 Em
Every cruel word you let just slip out____
