| [G] | [Gmaj7] | [G] | [Gmaj7]  

You're not a [G] dream you're not an [Gmaj7] Angel you're a [G7] man   [E7]  
I'm not a [Am] queen I'm a [Caug] woman take my [Am7] hand     [D]  
We'll make a [G] space in the [Gmaj7] lives that we [G7] planned   [E7]  
And here we'll [Am] stay until it's [D] time for you to [G] go    [Gmaj7]      

Yes we're [G] different worlds a- [Gmaj7] part we're not the [G7] same   [E7]  
We laughed and [Am] played at the [Caug] start like in a [Am7] game   [D]  
You could have [G] stayed outside my [Gmaj7] heart but in you [G7] came   [E7]      
And here you'll [Am] stay until it's [D] time for you to [G] go   [G]  

Chorus
[Ab] ... [F] Don't ask [G] why   [G]  
[Ab] ... [F] Don't ask [G] how   [G]  
[B7] ... [B7] Don't ask for- [E7] ever  [E7]  
[Am] ... [Am] Love me [D] now   [D]  

This love of [G] mine had no be- [Gmaj7] ginning it had no [G7] end   [E7]  
I was an [Am] oak now I'm a [Caug] willow now I can [Am7] bend   [D]  
And though I'll [G] never in my [Gmaj7] life see you a- [G7] gain   [E7]      
Still I'll [Am] stay until it's [D] time for you to [G] go   [G]  

Chorus
[Ab] ... [F] Don't ask [G] why love [G] me
[Ab] ... [F] Don't ask [G] how love [G] me
[B7] ... [B7] Don't ask for- [E7] ever of [E7] me
[Am] Love me [Am] love me [D] now   [D]  

You're not a [G] dream you're not an [Gmaj7] Angel you're a [G7] man   [E7]  
I'm not a [Am] queen I'm a [Caug] woman take my [Am7] hand  [D]  
We'll make a [G] space in the [Gmaj7] lives that we [G7] planned   [E7]  
And here we'll [Am] stay until it's [D] time for you to [Em] go
And here we'll [Am] stay until it's [D] time for you to [G] go
[Ab] oooh [F] ooh [G] oohhh
