Standard Tuning
Capo on the 4th fret
Intro: G5 D5 E5 F5 x2
G5 D5
I am a woman
E5
Cut in two
F5
By ambitious pride
G5 D5
Stuck in my ways
E5
Between you
F5
And my other life
A5 C5
Now I have been around enough to know when love has ended
A5 D5
But I believe that you and I deserve to be extended
G5 D5
So why don't you try
E5
To make me stay
F5
When it's time to go
G5 D5
Why don't you try
E5
To stand in my way
F5
Cause we both know
G5
I can't stop myself
D5
Our empty house
E5
You occupy
F5
When I'm far away
G5 D5 E5
Heavier hearts won't justify
F5
Why I'm gone today
A5 C5
Now I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
A5 D5
Figured you would at least make me give a better reason
G5 D5
So why don't you try
E5
To make me stay
F5
When it's time to go
G5 D5
Why don't you try
E5
To stand in my way
F5
Cause we both know
G5
I can't stop myself
Instrumental part: G5 D5 E5 F5 x2
(I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that
chord progression instead)
A5 D5
In the early mornings when I'm up before dawn
A5 D5
You say "why don't you stay" but you keep sleeping on
G5 F5 E5
Maybe you're just used to me being gone
A5 D5
Cause if you know that I don't want to go
G5 D5 E5
So why don't you try
F5
When it's time to go
G5 D5
Why don't you try
E5
To stand in my way
F5
Cause we both know
G5
I can't stop myself
D5
Why don't you
E5
Why don't you try
F5
When it's time to go, oh
G5
Cause I don't want to have to go
D5
And be the one to leave you holding on alone
E5
But this, this is my goodbye
F5
So why don't you try
G5 D5 E5 F5 x2
End on G5
