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