Album: "Working Man's Café" (2007)
[Intro]
D A C G (x2)
[Verse 1]
D A C G
You're asking me, "what's it leading to?
D G C7 F
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
F C Bb
No point asking me because I haven't got a clue
D A C G
You're asking me, "will it be alright?"
D G C7 F
If you're asking me don't take my advice
F C Bb
And don't make me responsible for you living your life
[Chorus]
D F G F G
I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry
F G A
I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I, yeah
F G F G
What would come after, that would be unwise
F G A
If that's what you really want then get a life, get a life, get a life
[Verse 2]
D A C G
You're asking me, "will it be alright?"
D G C7 F
Because I've been around, I have the insight
F C Bb
And I was there the first time so I must know what it's like
D A C Bb
If you're asking me, don't take my advice
[Bridge]
Gm Gm7
Do we learn from all the questions that we ask
Gm6 Dsus4 D
Do we listen to the past, we never do
Gm Gm7
It's up to you to go and make your own mistakes
Gm6
Have a go and break a leg
C D
But please don't come home crying when you do
[Verse 3]
D A C G
You're asking me, don't take my advice
D G C7 F
Because I've been there before doesn't come to pass
F C Bb
That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask
D A C G
I'm telling you because you're asking me
[Solo]
F G F G F G A
[Bridge]
Gm Gm7
Anyway, what am I supposed to say
Gm6 Dsus4 D
Could say everything is really brilliant
Gm Gm7
Anything to make your worries disappear
Gm6
Put your conscience in the clear
C D
And make you think there's nothing left to fear
[Verse 4]
D A C G
You're asking me, "what's it leading to?
D G C7 F
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
F C Bb
No point asking me because I wasn't even there
[Chorus]
F G F G
First time around it was really grand
F G A
But inside something said to me go get a life, get a life
F G F G
Now that I'm here I can't understand
F G A
Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn
F G F G
I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry
F G A
I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I?
F G F G
Then what would come after, that would be unwise
F G A
If that's what you really want then get a life, get a life, get a life
