Love Song Of The Beta Male

D                                G
Don't ask me to make you laugh until you cry
D                              G                     A
Because you know I'm on good form if I can raise a smile
D                                      A                        G
And don't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the threshold
D                                 G                 D
Because you know I'd only hurt myself if I were to try


[Chorus]

       D
I can tell you 'bout the way you make me feel inside
        G                     A
When I lie beside you in our bed at night
             D                                   D
And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight
                  G                 A
And tell you everything'll be all right


[Verse]

D                                        G
But don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you
             D                  G                     A
Because you know I've two left feet and no guts with that
D                                   G        Bm
And don't ask me to rise to your political debate
                 D                A
I don't need reminding of my ignorance


[Chorus]

       D
I can tell you about the way you make me feel inside
      G                     A
As I lie beside you in our bed at night
            D                                   D
And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight
                  G                 A
And tell you everything'll be all right
          D                         D
And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say
                 G                       A
Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway
              D                          D
And I don't need to tell you anything anyway
                   G                A
To know that everything'll be all right


[Bridge]

        Bm    A  G  F#m Em   A
If you don't ask me to save you
  A    A#   A   G   F#m   E   Em   Gm
From my mother when she stays too long


[Verse]

D                               G
Don't ask me to buy you fancy lingerie
D                                       G                 A
Well it's an awful lot of money and I wouldn't know your size
D                                     G                   Bm
And don't ask me to make you rich or even bring home the bacon
            A#                       C
But I will cook it for you when I'm here
             Dm                          Bm    A#
And when I'm out on the road I'll write sentimental


[Chorus]

D
Songs about the way you make me feel inside
      G                     A
As I lie beside you in our bed at night
D                                                   D
And we can listen to the traffic and I'll hold you tight
               G                   A
And tell you everything'll be all right
         D                                 D
And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say
                 G                      A
Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway
             D                           D
And I don't need to tell you anything anyway
                  G                 A
To know that everything'll be all right


[Outro]

D                                    G
Don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you
D                          G
Don't ask me to walk 500 miles for you
D                                  G
Don't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the threshold
D                                 G
Don't ask me to stand up to your big big brother for you
D                                 G
Don't ask me to mend your broken car for you
