Why Don't You Try

• G

Capo 4

 Intro: G     D     Em     F (4x)


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 
   
  
Instrumental:  G    D    Em    F  (2x)    


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 (2x) 

 End on: G
