 Intro:  G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm   FF  x2


G+G    D MajorD
 I am a woman
     E minorEm
 Cut in two
    FF
 By ambitious pride
G+G       D MajorD
 Stuck in my ways
     E minorEm
 Between you
    FF
 And my other life

   A minorAm                        C majorC
 Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended
   A minorAm                     D MajorD
 But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended


          G+G    D MajorD
 So why don't you try
       E minorEm
 To make me stay
      FF
 When it's time to go
         G+G    D MajorD
 Why don't you try
         E minorEm
 To stand in my way
      FF
 Cause we both know
         G+G
 I can't stop myself

       D MajorD
 Our empty house
     E minorEm
 You occupy
      FF
 When I'm far away
G+G      D MajorD       E minorEm
 Heavier hearts won't justify
     FF
 Why I'm gone today

  A minorAm                        C majorC
 Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
  A minorAm                        D MajorD
 Figured you would at least make me give a better reason


          G+G    D MajorD
 So why don't you try
       E minorEm
 To make me stay
      FF
 When it's time to go
         G+G    D MajorD
 Why don't you try
         E minorEm
 To stand in my way
      FF
 Cause we both know
         G+G
 I can't stop myself


Instrumental part: G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  FF  x2
(I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that
chord progression instead)


A minorAm               D MajorD
 In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn
A minorAm                   D MajorD
 You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on
 G+G         FF     E minorEm
 Maybe you're just used to me being gone
      A minorAm            D MajorD
 Cause if you know that I don't want to go


          G+G    D MajorD   E minorEm
 So why don't you try
      FF
 When it's time to go
         G+G    D MajorD
 Why don't you try
         E minorEm
 To stand in my way
      FF
 Cause we both know
         G+G
 I can't stop myself

    D MajorD
 Why don't you
   E minorEm
 Why don't you try
      FF
 When it's time to go, oh

    G+G
 Cause I don't want to have to go
          D MajorD
 And be the one to leave you holding on alone
      E minorEm
 But this, this is my goodbye
   FF
 So why don't you try

 G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  FF   x2
