Another great song by the legend that is Suzanne Vega.
EDIT - slightly modified some chords.  
This one has some "weird sounding" chords because of the finger picking.
They're not wrong, I think Suzanne either has two guitars or a prominent bass. 
Bit unsure of the "if you wonder" part".
These chords work with the song, but you can jazz it up a bit if you wish.
You can hammer on the Am chord at the beginning.
Not saying how you HAVE to play it - just do what you feels best!

(x2)

Am C

Watch while the queen

F G

In one false move

Am C F G

Turns herself into a pawn

Am C

Sleepy and shaken

F G

And watching while the blurry night

Am C F G

Turns into a very clear dawn

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love many, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love twenty, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

One false move

F G

And a secret prophecy

Am C

Well, if you hold it against her,

F G

First hold it up and see

Am C

That it's one side stone, one side fire

F G Am C F

Standing alone among all men's desire

They want to know

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love many, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

Do you love me?

And if you wonder

What I am doing

Bm7

As I am heading

For the sink

I am spitting out all the bitterness

F G

Along with half of my last drink

I am thinking

Of your woman

Bm7

Who is crying in the hall

It's like drinking gasoline to quench a thirst

F Em7

Until there's nothing there left at all

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love many, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love twenty, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

And "Walk on her blind side"

F G

Was the answer to the joke

Am C

It's said there isn't a political bone

F G

In her body

Am C

She would rather be a riddle

F G

But she keeps challenging the future

Am C F G

With a profound lack of history

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

F G

Do you love many, can you love one,

Am C F G

Do you love me?

Am C

Do you love any, do you love none,

Do you love twenty, can you love one,
