A fantastically upbeat track from Ruarri Joseph from his debut album,
'Tales of Grime and Grit'. While the chords are simple, and thus easy to
grasp, the high speed needed to play it may mean the song is more suited for
an intermediate level guitarist.

Don't ask too much, that won't work,

G Am F
Sell me the sun, I'll say you're the one,
C G
I'll give you my word, raising the dirt,
Dm Am
If you want the stars, I'll give you the sky,
Dm G
Straight from the air, what works is you and I.
Verse:
Am F C
Start from the second when, we learn to go,
Dm Am
Who needs to see it all, if we all have hope,
F C
I'm not the kind of guy to ask of you,
Dm G
Sing like we know you can and, we'll all get through.
