Meaghan Smith -- If You Asked Me
VERY rough outline of the most basic chords.
Being a jazzy song its best to play around with it add runs or what have you until you
have a personal version you enjoy playing. Personally I turn a lot of the chords into
7ths throughout the song and that seems to work nicely.
Capo 2 matches the song.
Am
Verse 1:
Am E
Well I know that I should know better
F E Am
Than to sit here by the phone waiting like a fool
E
And my mailbox never got those letters
F E Am
That you promised would be coming my way soon
F E
Well it’s a strange concept
F E
With all the tears I’ve wept
F E
That I would still accept
Am
If you asked me
Verse 2:
Well you show up when you want romancing
And I’m the perfect one to play the part
And I might be in your arms dancing
But I’m not the only one inside your heart
I know you’re not all mine
Cause I see your wandering eyes
Still I would not decline if you asked me
Bridge:
C E
Everybody sees that love has made me blind Oh
Am E
And everybody knows that I have lost my mind
C E
And it may be true my heart may be askew
F E
This love may be a ruse
F E
I got everything to lose
F E Am
But how can I refuse if you asked me
Am E F E Am (x2)
F E
Well my love I can’t repress
F E
So boy I must confess
F E
What I wish you would request
F E
And I ain't gonna make you guess
F E
So put me out of my distress
F E
With or without you I’m a mess
F E
And boy I would say yes
Am
If you asked me Come on ask me
