Asking Price

Intro: Ab 

Db              F 
Fell down again 



               Eb 
Scraped my knee twice 
               Db           F 
The first was a fluke, and 
               Eb 
The second an asking price 
               Db            F 
All of the towels I had wrung 
             Eb 
All for a body dry 
               Db        F 
Fell on the umbra 
               Eb        Db 
Eclipsed by self sacrifice 

 
F                Eb     Db 
I don't, I don't mind 
F                Eb 
I don't, I don't mind 

 
               Db       F 
Peeling the orange skin 
               Eb 
Counting the slices 
               Db        F 
End up with less than ten 
                 Eb 
End up with my own devices 
                  Db           F 
Don't know how to treat myself 
                   Eb 
When I know no ones watching 
                   Db              F 
Every thought is for someone else 
                 Eb 
Every thought is exhausting 
Db 
And I 



F                Eb     Db 
I don't, I don't mind 
F                Eb 
I don't, I don't mind 

 
         Db        F 
Solving equations 
             Eb 
To problems I made 
               Db         F 
I'm checking my work back 
                Eb 
And fanning out flames 
                  Db        F 
Don't know how to stay still 
            Eb 
Every move calculated 
               Db          F 
I don't want to lose this 
             Eb 
Every move dissipated 


Db 
I hope this is worth it, being the thing that I've hated 
F                                Eb 
Looking up blindly for divine compensation 
Db 
I wish I would try less to mask the starvation 
F                                      Eb 
Hungry for attention, I'm usually left waiting 
Db 
Pretend I don't mind it, avoid accusations 
F                                   Eb 
I lie to myself with some false affirmations 
Db 
Created a monster, employed it, and paid it 
F                                     Eb 
It's handled in silence, the deal's consummated 
Db 
And I 


F                Eb     Db 
I don't, I don't mind 
F                Eb     Db 
I don't, I don't mind 
F                Eb     Db 
I don't, I don't mind 
F                Eb     Db 
I don't
