(verse 1) 
 B5                    F#5   
She plays her cards close to the vest 
    Ab5                               E5 
To hide the heart she wears on her sleeve 
 B5                                  F#5  
Sometimes she's caught between the woman that she is 
         Ab5                   E5 
And the one she's expected to be 
             F#5  
But with an innocent smile 
         Ab5  
And the soul of a child 
       C#5            E5             F#5  
She's always giving more than she can 


                 B5 - E5      Ab5 - F#5  
When a woman loves a man 
                E5     B5  B5  F#5 E5 B5 F#5  
When a woman loves a man 
 
(verse 2) 
     B5                    F#5  
She knows how to hang on your every word 
         Ab5                         E5
And she knows how to look the other way 
           B5               F#5  
She'll whisper to you what no man has ever heard 
  Ab5                          E5    B5 
Secrets she would never give away 
          F#5  
With her arms open wide 
         Ab5  
She'll take you inside 
     C#5              E5          F#5  
And hold you in the palm of her hand 


                B5 - E5       Ab5 - F#5  
When a woman loves a man 
                     E5 - B5 E5 B5 
When a woman loves a man 
                   B5      E5 - Ab5 - F#5  
She will be there to the end 
                    E5 - B5    F#5 - E5 - B5  
When a woman loves a man.
