Please Don?t Ask Me To Smile - You Am I (Rogers/You am I)

Tabbed by Oliver Watkins ([email protected])

The way I played this is with the guitar tuned down two whole semi-tones,
so that the normal open G becomes an open F.

Intro:
[G] [Gsus4] [G]

[G]When I was in [Gsus4]grade [G]six I used to [Gsus4]open the door for a girl
G Gsus4 G/B A G
and she called me a wimp. Said there just is no need to be so fucking polite
Gsus4 G/B A G
I politely agreed with her, I think she was right
j[Am7]ust never entered my [G]mind, That a [Am7]12 year old came down to choosing [G]sides

[G]You said, That I'd [Gsus4]die if I had nothing to [G]do, put a [Gsus4]drink in my hand and I'll
[G]talk to anything that moves
Gsus4 G/B A G
I just refuse to give you what you think will make things right
Gsus4 G/B A G
Just to find hate when you've lost the will to fight
and [Am7]would it really be in touch with the [G]times
to [Am7]put somebody down for choosing [G]sides

And you said [Csus2]show us them teeth, [Dsus2]give us them braces
[Csus2]Show me that dental work that puts [Dsus2]fear in twelve year old faces[D/C#][D/C]

G A G/B Gsus4 Gsus4 G/B A G
I can make you feel, only half worthwhile, just please don't ask me to smile
[G]And times when it just [Gsus4]feels [G]right, [Gsus4]hold open the door for a girl
G Gsus4 G/B A G
or back down from a fight, there's just no need to be so fucking polite
Gsus4 G/B A G
at least it helps us sleep easier at night
[Am7]It just never enters my [G]mind, it [Am7]ever should come down to choosing [G]sides

And you said [Csus2]show us them teeth, [Dsus2]give us them braces
[Csus2]Show me that dental work that puts [Dsus2]fear in twelve year old faces[D/C#][D/C]

G A G/B Gsus4
I can prove to you I do or don't get high..........

Gsus4 G/B A G
Just please don't ask me to smile :)
