G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)I am a woman
         Em (022000@1)Cut in two
       F (133211@1)By ambitious pride
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)Stuck in my ways
          Em (022000@1)Between you

     Am (x02210@1)                                       D (xx0232@1)But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended

G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)So why don't you try
             Em (022000@1)To make me stay
            F (133211@1)When it's time to go
                 G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)Why don't you try
                 Em (022000@1)To stand in my way
           F (133211@1)Cause we both know
                  G (320003@1)I can't stop myself

D (xx0232@1)Our empty house
          Em (022000@1)You occupy
           F (133211@1) When I'm far away
G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)            Em (022000@1)Heavier hearts won't justify
          F (133211@1)Why I'm gone today

Am (x02210@1)                                              C (x32010@1)Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
   Am (x02210@1)                                             D (xx0232@1)Figured you would at least make me give a better reason

G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)So why don't you try
             Em (022000@1)To make me stay
            F (133211@1)When it's time to go
                 G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)Why don't you try
                 Em (022000@1)To stand in my way
           F (133211@1)Cause we both know
                  G (320003@1)    
 I can't stop myself
  
 
Instrumental part:  G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)  F (133211@1) x2   
(I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that 
chord progression instead)

Am (x02210@1)                            D (xx0232@1)In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn
Am (x02210@1)                                    D (xx0232@1)You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on
 G (320003@1)                F (133211@1)        Em (022000@1)Maybe you're just used to me being gone
           Am (x02210@1)                      D (xx0232@1)Cause if you know that I don't want to go

G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)    Em (022000@1)So why don't you try
            F (133211@1)When it's time to go
                 G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)Why don't you try
                 Em (022000@1)To stand in my way
           F (133211@1)Cause we both know
                  G (320003@1)I can't stop myself

D (xx0232@1)Why don't you
      Em (022000@1)Why don't you try
            F (133211@1)When it's time to go, oh

G (320003@1)Cause I don't want to have to go
                    D (xx0232@1)And be the one to leave you holding on alone
            Em (022000@1)But this, this is my goodbye
     F (133211@1)So why don't you try
 
 G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  Em (022000@1)  F (133211@1)   x2

End on G
