           D
 'Cause I didn't say yes
             Em
 Don't be a girl about it
           C
 'Cause I wouldn't pretend
             G
 Don't be a girl about it
             D
 Now you're whining again
             Em
 Don't be a girl about it
                C
 You're such a girl about it
 
 G    D    Em    C


  G                D              Em            C
 Now you're up in arms because I say we're not working out
      G           D                  Em            C
 You wonder if I loved you from the start, well I tell you what
G          D        Em        C
 I knew a guy who changed my world
G              D      Em         C
 And then he grew into a little girl

G      D   Em    C      G    D   Em   C 
 This metamorphosis is just too much
G        D        Em        C       G       D   Em   C
 You're crossing lines that I just can't let go on

      G               D            
 And uuhuuhuuh it's not looking good
      Em            C           
 And uuhuuhuuh I'm not in the mood
      G            D           
 And uuhuuhuuh I can't get through
     Em          C          
 To you huuhuuh uuhuuhuuh

 
             G
 Don't be a girl about it
           D
 'Cause I didn't say yes
             Em
 Don't be a girl about it
           C
 'Cause I wouldn't pretend
             G
 Don't be a girl about it
             D
 Now you're whining again
             Em
 Don't be a girl about it
                C
 You're such a girl about it

      G              D               Em      C
 And uuhuuhuuh I'm sleeping with the enemy ohoh
      G              D                   Em        C
 And uuhuuhuuh I'm counting sheep while you're in love

 
Em             D                   G           C
 I guess it's true that love can grow in different directions
Em            D                  G            C
 I chose the high road and you chose to be a girl
Em              D
 I know you're mad at me now
G              C
 It's all my fault somehow
Em              D
 Here comes my favorite part
        G            C
 You're so misunderstood

     G               D            
 And uuhuuhuuh it's not looking good
      Em            C           
 And uuhuuhuuh I'm not in the mood
      G            D           
 And uuhuuhuuh I can't get through
     Em          C          
 To you huuhuuh uuhuuhuuh

  
             G
 Don't be a girl about it
           D
 'Cause I didn't say yes
             Em
 Don't be a girl about it
           C
 'Cause I wouldn't pretend

G                D                  C
  I can see the wait there in your eyes
                    D             G
  I can feel the thought in your sigh
                       D                   C         D
  Your knuckles are bruised from a losing fight
G          D                 C
  One way down a dead end street
                D               G
  Broken glass underneath your feet
                 D                           C        D
  You think the day won't break the sunless night

  I've been stuck in a storm before
                 D            G
  Felt the wind raging at my door
                             D                      C      D
  Couldn't move, couldn't breathe, Couldn't find a way out
G                D            C           D          G
  Somehow the clouds disappeared, Somehow I made it here
                 D                 C      D
  Maybe just so you could hear me say


G         D
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
                C         D

      D         Em      
  So hard to believe it
       Bm             C             D
  Sometimes you just need a little faith 
             Bm               C
  There's an answer to your prayer
      D              Em             C

 Intro:    G     D     Em     F   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
  
 
Instrumental part:  G    D    Em    F   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          E
 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

 End on G
