Beautiful ballad about a love that cannot last. It’s been covered by Barbra 
Streisand, Elvis Presley, and Neil Diamond to name just three, but for me Buffy's 
versions are always the best of all!

This transcribes a wonderful 2011 live performance from Bluesfest

Verse 1
=======

             G                   G/F#           G/F  E7
You're not a dream you're not an Angel you're a man
          Am          Am/maj7       Am7  D/F#
I'm not a queen I'm a woman take my hand
             G            G/F#          G/F      E7
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
               Am              D/F#            G
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go


Verse 2
=======

          G                  G/F#               G/F   E7
Yes we're different worlds a-part we're not the same
               Am            Am/maj7         Am7  D/F#
We laughed and played at the start like in a game
               G                 G/F#             G/F   E7   
You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came 
                Am              D/F#            G
And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go

=========

Ab  F          G
     Don't ask why
Ab  F          G
     Don't ask how
B7             E
     Don't ask forever

Verse 3
=======

             G              G/F#              G/F  E7
This love of mine had no be-ginning it had no end
         Am            Am/maj7          Am7  D/F#
I was an oak now I'm a willow now I can bend
                G           G/F#           G/F   E7   
And though I'll never in my life see you a-gain
           Am              D/F#            G
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go


Refrain 2

Ab  F          G

Ab  F          G
     Don't ask how love me

     Don't ask forever of me
Am                   D
     Love me love me now


Verse 4

             G                   G/F#           G/F  E7
You're not a dream you're not an Angel you're a man
          Am          Am/maj7       Am7  D/F#
I'm not a queen I'm a woman take my hand
             G            G/F#          G/F      E7
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
               Am              D/F#            G
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
               Am              D/F#            G
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
