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