Too Much To Ask by Niall Horan - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Niall Horan Song List
Version 1
            Artist: Niall Horan
Song: Too Much To Ask
Album: Flicker
Key: A minor
BPM: 78
Tabbed by: Matty Sievers

Official Song: --.-/watch?ds49a4cfL9nTNugM

EDIT: The official audio was released an hour ago so lyrics and chord placement is fixed.

Niall often starts words on the offbeat; so the chord will change and then half a beat later he'll
sing the line. So the best bet to play this song right is read the below progression outline and go
off that as opposed to his words as that might be difficult for some. But you can also listen through
and get the feel for the track.

Intro and verse is Am for (2) beats, G for (2) beats and then C for (4) beats.
Pre-chorus is Dm for (2) and C for (2) then after playing that three times it's G for (4) beats.
The chorus is the progression of F, C, Am and G, each played for 2 beats, played through four times.
The post-chorus is the same progression played through twice. That's when the lead guitar comes in.
The first part of the final chorus is just whole notes then back to normal strumming
when the full band comes in. Likewise for the outro - WHOLE NOTES :)


[Intro]
Am G C

[Verse 1]
Am            G           C
  Waiting here for someone
Am              G                  C
  Only yesterday we were on the run
Am                G                  C
  You smiled back at me and your face lit up the sun
       Am           G           C
Now I'm waiting here for someone

[Pre-Chorus]
     Dm C   Dm            C
And, oh love, do you feel this rough
Dm              C                G
  Why's it only you I'm thinking of

[Chorus]
F            C
  My shadow's dancing
Am           G
  Without you for the first time
F            C
  My heart is hoping
Am                  G
  You'll walk right in tonight
F                             C
Tell me there are things that you regret
      Am                          G
Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
F               C
  That's all I'm asking
Am              G
  Is it too much to ask?

[Post-Chorus]
F C Am              G
      Is it too much to ask?
F C Am G

[Verse 2]
Am          G         C
  Someone's moving outside
Am                G                C
  The lights come on and down the drive
Am                    G                    C
  I forget you're not here when I close my eyes
Am              G             C
  Do you still think of me sometimes?

[Pre-Chorus]
     Dm C    Dm             C
And, oh love, watch the sun coming up 
Dm              C                  G
  Don’t it feel fucked up we're not in love

[Chorus 2]
F            C
  My shadow's dancing
Am           G
  Without you for the first time
F            C
  My heart is hoping
Am                  G
  You'll walk right in tonight
    F                             C
And tell me there are things that you regret
      Am                          G
Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
F               C
  That's all I'm asking
Am              G
  Is it too much to ask?

  Without you for the first time
F            C
  My heart is hoping
Am                    G
  You'll walk right in tonight
    F                             C
And tell me there are things that you regret
      Am                          G
Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet

F            C
  My shadow's dancing
Am           G
  Without you for the first time
F            C
  My heart is hoping
Am                  G
  You'll walk right in tonight
    F                             C
And tell me there are things that you regret
      Am                          G
Cause if I'm being honest I ain't over you yet
F               C
  That's all I'm asking
Am              G
  Is it too much to ask?

[Outro]
F               C
  That's all I'm asking
Am              G
  Is it too much to ask?
F               C
  That's all I'm asking
Am              G
  Is it too much to ask?
