intro D A C G x2



D             A     C                G

You're asking me, "what's it leading to?

D                   G      C               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   C               F

If you're asking me don't take my advice

      F                         

And don't make me responsible

     C               Bb               

For you living your life



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

If that's what you really want

      A

Then get a life, get a life, get a life





D             A    C              G

You're asking me, "will it be alright?"

D                   G      C            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





Gm                Gm/F                

Do we learn from all the questions that we ask

Gm/E                          Dsus   D

Do we listen to the past, we never do

     Gm           Gm/F 

It's up to you to go and make your own mistakes

Gm/E

Have a go and break a leg

    C                                      D

But please don't come home crying when you do







You're asking me, don't take my advice

Because I've been there before

Doesn't come to pass

That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask

I'm telling you because you're asking me



Anyway, what am I supposed to say

Could say everything is really brilliant

Anything to make your worries disappear

Put your conscience in the clear

And make you think there's nothing left to fear



You're asking me, "what's it leading to?

Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"

No point asking me because I wasn't even there



First time around it was really grand

But inside something said to me

Go get a life, get a life

Now that I'm here I can't understand

Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn



 

            F             G        F/A            G/B

I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry

F/C               G/D      A

I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I?

      F               G     F/A            G/B

Then what would come after, that would be unwise

F/C                G/D 

If that's what you really want then

 A

Get a life, get a life, get a life

D                A     C             Bb

If you're asking me, don't take my advice
