| [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
