Artist: Niall Horan Song: Too Much To Ask Album: Flicker Key: A minor BPM: 78 Tabbed by: Matty Sievers
Official Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfL9nTNugM
EDIT: The official audio was released an hour ago so lyrics and chord placement is fixed.
This song is set to be his next single and it is absolutely beautiful. Niall often starts words on the offbeat; so the chord will change and then half a beat later he'll sing the line. So the best bet to play this song right is read the below progression outline and go off that as opposed to his words as that might be difficult for some. But you can also listen through and get the feel for the track.
Intro and verse is Am for (2) beats, G for (2) beats and then C for (4) beats. Pre-chorus is Dm for (2) and C for (2) then after playing that three times it's G for (4) beats. The chorus is the progression of F, C, Am and G, each played for 2 beats, played through four times. The post-chorus is the same progression played through twice. That's when the lead guitar comes in. The first part of the final chorus is just whole notes then back to normal strumming when the full band comes in. Likewise for the outro - WHOLE NOTES :)
[Verse 1] AmGC Waiting here for someone AmGC Only yesterday we were on the run AmGC You smiled back at me and your face lit up the sun AmGC Now I'm waiting here for someone
[Pre-Chorus] DmCDmC And, oh love until you feel this rough DmCG Why's it only you I'm thinking of
[Chorus] FC My shadow's dancing AmG Without you for the first time FC My heart is hoping AmG You'll walk right in tonight FC Tell me there are things that you regret AmG Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet FC It's all I'm asking AmG Is it too much to ask?
[Post-Chorus] FCAmG Is it too much to ask? FCAmG
[Verse 2] AmGC Someone's moving outside AmGC The lights come on and down the drive AmGC I forget you're not here when I close my eyes AmGC Do you still think of me sometimes?
[Pre-Chorus] DmCDmC And, oh love, watch the sun coming up DmCG Don’t it feel fucked up we're not in love
[Chorus 2] FC My shadow's dancing AmG Without you for the first time FC My heart is hoping AmG You'll walk right in tonight FC Tell me there are things that you regret AmG Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet FC It's all I'm asking AmG Is it too much to ask?
[Instrumental] FCAmG (x3)
[Chorus 3] FC My shadow's dancing AmG Without you for the first time FC My heart is hoping AmG You'll walk right in tonight FC Tell me there are things that you regret AmG Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet FC My shadow's dancing AmG Without you for the first time FC My heart is hoping AmG You'll walk right in tonight FC Tell me there are things that you regret AmG Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet FC It's all I'm asking AmG Is it too much to ask?
[Outro] FC It's all I'm asking AmG Is it too much to ask? FC It's all I'm asking AmG Is it too much to ask?
