Before You Ask Her

Bb Bb

[Verse]
           F
Before you ask her
     C
On a Friday night first date
   Dm
It might be good for you and me
   Bb
To get things a few things straight

[Pre-Chorus]
           F
Before you ask her
      C
And I hear that doorbell ring
   Dm
Or she ain't gonna' answer
  Bb
Until you answer me

[Chorus]
         Bb
Will you hold the door? Be polite?
     C
Pick up the tab? And treat her right?
         F
Have her home by ten
    C            Dm
And not a minute after?
         Bb
Will you take it slow when it comes to love?
      C
Let a goodnight kiss be far enough
    F                 C
And treat her with respect?
                     Dm
'Cause that's what's matters
      Bb                                   C
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

[Verse]
           F
Before you ask her
       C
Let me tell you about my girl
        Dm
She's a Fourth of July firework
           Bb
And she'll light up your whole world

[Pre-Chorus]
           F
Before you ask her
            C
You need to know what her heart's worth
            Dm
And if she chooses you, then that makes you
    Bb
The luckiest on Earth

[Chorus]
         Bb
Will you build her up?
Don't let her down?
    C
And never try to steal her crown?
   F               C                    Dm
Believe in all the dreams she's chasing after?
         Bb
Will you give her wings
And let her fly?
       C
'Cause if you do she'll touch the sky
         F              C
Will you always let her know
               Dm
That her voice matters?
      Bb                                   C
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

[Bridge]
           F
Before you ask her
           Dm      Bb
Before you ask her
   F       Dm  Bb
Ha-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse]
           F
Before you ask me
           C
If you can walk her down the aisle
        Dm
Yeah, I knew this day was coming
              Bb
I've seen the way you make her smile

[Pre-Chorus]
           F
Before you ask her
           C
Before you get down on one knee
    Dm
And make my girl a promise
       Bb
I need you to promise me

[Chorus]
         Bb
Will you stay for better or for worse?
     C
Will you put her and Jesus first?
    F             C          Dm
And always be her happy ever after?
         Bb
Will you let that ring remind you
          C
That even when the hard times find you
         F           C
It's the promises we keep
            Dm
That really matter?
       Bb                                   C
Son, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

[Outro]
           F
Before you ask her
           Bb     Bb
Before you ask her
   F
Ha-ooh-ooh
           Bb     Bb
Before you ask her
