               Eb
I've given you sunshine
               Gm -
I've given you dirt.
       Eb7  -   Ab
You've given me nothing
                  Adim
But heartache and hurt.
                D#/A#
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
               Abm/B
I'm down on my knees.
    F             Bb/D - Bb -
Oh, please-grow for me!


               Eb
I've given you plant food
             Gm -
And water to sip.
     Eb7   -   Ab
I've given you potash.
                Adim
You've given me zip.
              Eb/Bb
Oh God, how I mist you
                 Abm/B
Oh pod, how you tease
    F - Bb7 -
Oh, please-
         Eb
grow for me!


               Edim
I've given you southern exposure
   Fm
To get you to thrive.
                      F#dim
I've pinched you back hard,
Like I'm s'posed ta.
       Eb/G -
You're barely alive.
     Eb7     -    Ab    -   Adim* -
I've tried you at levels of moisture
     Eb/Bb--E7b9--Cm -
From desert to mud.
     F7
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements.
Bb7
What do you want from me- Blood?



               Eb
I've given you sunlight.
               Gm -
I've given you rain.
      Eb7       -     Ab
Looks like you're not happy,
               Adim
'Less I open a vein.
                Eb/Bb
I'll give you a few drops
             Abm/B
If that'll appease.

Now please-
   Bb7
oh please-
         Eb - E/Eb - F/Eb - F#/Eb - G/Eb -- Ab/Eb -- A/Eb -- Bb/Eb -- Eb
