PLEASE DON'T ASK ME TO SMILE
As recorded by You Am I
(From the 1996 Album HOURLY, DAILY)
Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
When I was in grade six
G
Used to hold open the door for a girl
D
And she called me a wimp
A D
She said there just isn't a need to be so fucking polite
A D
I politely agreed with her, I think she was right
Em D
It just never entered my mind
Em D A D
That at twelve, it all came down to choosing sides
[Verse 2]
D
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
G D
Put a drink in my hand, and I'll talk to anything that moves
D
I just refuse to give you what you think will make things right
D
Justifying hate when you've lost the will to fight
E D
Would it be really in touch with the times
E D
To put somebody down for choosing sides?
[Chorus]
G
And she said show us them teeth
A
Give us them braces
G
Show us that dental work
A E G
That puts fear in twelve year old faces
D
I could make you feel
Gmaj7
Even half worthwhile
D
Just please don't ask me to smile
[Verse 3]
D
And at times, when it still feels right
G D
I hold open the door for a girl, and I'll back down from a fight
D
And if there just is no need to be so polite
D
At least it helps you sleep easier at night
E D
It just never enters my mind
E D
That it ever should come down to choosing sides
[Chorus]
G
And she said show us them teeth
A
Give us them braces
G
Show us that dental work
A E G
That puts fear in twelve year old faces
D
I could prove to you
G
That I do or don't get high
Em D
Just please don't ask me to smile
