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
