[Verse 1]
           E5           Bsus
Before you ask her on a Friday night first date
   C#m                             Asus2
It might be good for you and me to get a few things straight
           E5            Bsus
Before you ask her and I hear that doorbell ring
     C#m                       Asus2
Well, she ain't gonna answer until you answer me
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         A                              B
Will you hold the door, be polite, pick up the tab and treat her right?
         E               E/D#         C#m
Have her home by ten and not a minute after?
         A                                         B
Will you take it slow when it comes to love, let a goodnight kiss be far enough?
    E                 E/D#                     C#m
And treat her with respect, 'cause that's what mattеrs?
      Asus2                               Bsus
Oh, I guess you've got some things to ask yoursеlf
 
 
[Verse 2]
           Asus2  E5          Bsus
Before you ask    her, let me tell you 'bout my girl
        C#m                                 Asus2
She's a Fourth of July firework, and she'll light up your whole world
           E5                   Bsus
Before you ask her, you need to know what her heart's worth
           C#m                                  Asus2
And if she chooses you, then that makes you the luckiest on Earth
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         A                                    B
Will you build her up, don't let her down and never try to steal her crown?
  E                E/D#                 C#m
Believe in all the dreams she's chasin' after?
         A                                      B
Will you give her wings and let her fly? 'Cause if you do, she'll touch the sky
         E              E/D#                C#m
Will you always let her know that her voice matters?
      Asus2                            Bsus
Oh, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh
 
 
[Verse 3]
           E5                Bsus
Before you ask me if you can walk her down the aisle
        C#m                                     Asus2
Yeah, I knew this day was comin', I've seen the way you make her smile
           E5                  Bsus
Before you ask her, before you get down on one knee
    C#m                            Asus2
And make my girl a promise, I need you to promise me
 
 
[Chorus 3]
         A                                  B
Will you stay for better or for worse, will you put her and Jesus first?
    E             E/D#       C#m
And always be her happy ever after?
         A                                  B
Will you let that ring remind you that even when the hard times find you,
         E           E/D#             C#m
It's the promises we keep that really matter
       Asus2                            Bsus
Son, I guess you got some things to ask yourself

Before you ask    her
