Not Too Much To Ask
(Mary-Chapin Carpenter/Don Schlitz)
from the album "Come On, Come On"

                   
 D    
 G                     
 D
To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes
                     
 G    
 A                  
 D
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies.
   
 G             
 D     
 G                     
 D
If I was not the first, just say I'll be the last
                   
 G    
 A                         
 D
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

               
 G                      
 D
Now I can only dream of being all you need
               
 G 
 Bm                 
 G  
 A
And I can only try to be the reason why
                  
 D  
 G                     
 D
You think about today and forget about the past
                   
 G    
 A                         
 D
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
