Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][A][E][D][E]
[Em][E]

[Verse 1]
Now [E]woman,
don't [Em]you feel [D]sad when you
[E]See your life go [Em]round
And you real[D]ise that
you've been drink[E]ing
All of your [G#]years like [E]wine?
[Em][E]
You're gambling with [D]time an[E]d you
Know you just can't [Em]win
But still [D]you feel that somehow you've
Just [A]got to keep [E]on trying
[Em]And [E]woman, it's your heart,
[D]I hear crying[E]
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[E]Now the young man by your
[D]Side is your hus[A]band,
or [E]so [Em]you say
In real[D]ity, he's a link with a pas[A]t
You just can't re[E]place[Em]
[E]You tell the world you're
[D]happy when
You're ly[A]ing in [E]his arms
[Em]Oh but his y[D]outh has made you
Hate [A]to [E]see his [Em]face
[E]And woman, it's your heart,
I see [Em]crying[A][E][D][E][Em]
Now [E]you're standing like
some [D]tree oh
And the blos[A]som has blown [E]away[Em]
And the last leaf has [D]gone crumbling
Tum[A]bling towards
[E]the ground[Em][E][Em]
You [E]have nothing [Em]to teach [D]me
Just [E]have nothing at all to say
[Em]Except to keep on te[D]lling me about all the
Hap[A]piness that you do
think [E]you [Em]have found
[E]And woman, it's your heart,
[D]I h[E]ear[D] crying

[Outro 1]
