Matthew West – Before You Ask Her (Guitar)

           F
[tab]     C
On a Friday night first date

   Dm
It might be good for you and me

   Bb
To get things a few things straight

           F
Before you ask her

      C
And I hear that doorbell ring

   Dm
Or she ain't gonna' answer

  Bb
Until you answer me

         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

           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

           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

         Bb
Will you build her up?

    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

       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

           F
Before you ask her

           Dm      Bb
Before you ask her

   F       Dm  Bb
Ha-ooh-ooh-ooh

           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

           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

         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

           F
Before you ask her

           Bb     Bb
Before you ask her

   F
Ha-ooh-ooh

           Bb     Bb
Before you ask her
