Tom: D
D G
Don't ask me to make you laugh until you cry
D G A
Because you know I'm on good form if I can raise a smile
D A G
And don't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the threshold
D G D
Because you know I'd only hurt myself if I were to try
[Chorus]
D
I can tell you 'bout the way you make me feel inside
G A
When I lie beside you in our bed at night
D D
And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight
G A
And tell you everything'll be all right
[Verse]
D G
But don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you
D G A
Because you know I've two left feet and no guts with that
D G Bm
And don't ask me to rise to your political debate
D A
I don't need reminding of my ignorance
[Chorus]
D
I can tell you about the way you make me feel inside
G A
As I lie beside you in our bed at night
D D
And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight
G A
And tell you everything'll be all right
D D
And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say
G A
Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway
D D
And I don't need to tell you anything anyway
G A
To know that everything'll be all right
[Bridge]
Bm A G F#m Em A
If you don't ask me to save you
A A# A G F#m E Em Gm
From my mother when she stays too long
[Verse]
D G
Don't ask me to buy you fancy lingerie
D G A
Well it's an awful lot of money and I wouldn't know your size
D G Bm
And don't ask me to make you rich or even bring home the bacon
A# C
But I will cook it for you when I'm here
Dm Bm A#
And when I'm out on the road I'll write sentimental
[Chorus]
D
Songs about the way you make me feel inside
G A
As I lie beside you in our bed at night
D D
And we can listen to the traffic and I'll hold you tight
G A
And tell you everything'll be all right
D D
And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say
G A
Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway
D D
And I don't need to tell you anything anyway
G A
To know that everything'll be all right
[Outro]
D G
Don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you
D G
Don't ask me to walk 500 miles for you
D G
Don't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the threshold
D G
Don't ask me to stand up to your big big brother for you
D G
Don't ask me to mend your broken car for you
