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

Tabbed by Oliver Watkins (ofwat1@student.monash.edu.au)

The way I played this is with the guitar tuned down one whole semi-tone,

so that the normal open G becomes an open F#.

Intro:

G Gsus4 G

G Gsus4 G Gsus4

When I was in grade six I used to 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

Am7 G Am7 G

just never entered my mind, That a 12 year old came down to choosing sides

G Gsus4 G Gsus4

You said, That I'd die if I had nothing to do, put a 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

Am7 G

and would it really be in touch with the times

Am7 G

to put somebody down for choosing sides

Csus2 Dsus2

And you said show us them teeth, give us them braces

Csus2 Dsus2 D/C# D/C

Show me that dental work that puts fear in twelve year old faces

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 Gsus4 G Gsus4

And times when it just feels right, 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 G Am7 G

It just never enters my mind, it ever should come down to choosing sides

Csus2 Dsus2

And you said show us them teeth, give us them braces

Csus2 Dsus2 D/C# D/C

Show me that dental work that puts fear in twelve year old faces

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 :)
