[Intro]
| G | Bm7 | Am7 | D D/E D/F# |


[Verse 1]
    G             D        G6
Her eyes tell the story so well
    D             | Am7 | D |
She tries hard to hide
   Am7      D
So little expected
    Am7     D
Too often neglected
  Am7   D      D7      | G | D D/E D/F# |
A woman stripped of her pride


[Verse 2]
G         D              G6
Always so careful not to cry
         D       | Am7 | D |
Not till I fall asleep
    Am7          D
And there in the silence
    Am7         D           | G | D D/E D/F# |
She lies with a tear on her cheek


[Chorus]
  G                Bm
A thought comes to mind
      Am7
Did I read it sometime?
   D          D7           | G | D D/E D/F# |
Or hear it? I can't quite recall
       G           B7          C         Am7
That a man without love’s only half of a man
      D        D  D/E  D/F# | G | Bm7 | % | E E/F# E/G# |
But a woman is nothing at   all


[Verse 3]
    A             E6
She knows I don't love her
  A/F#          E6         | Bm7 | E |
Although heaven knows how I tried
    Bm7        E
Her reason for living
      Bm7         E
Is to go right on giving
    Bm7            E   E7     | A | E E/F# E/G# |
The one thing that she's been denied


[Verse 4]
    A       E6
Without any warning
       A/F#         E6         | Bm7 | E |
In the wee hours of morning she cries
        Bm7         E
And the hurt deep inside
    Bm7        | Esus4 E   |
She tries so to hide
     Bm7        E           | A | E E/F# E/G# |
Is beginning to show in her eyes


[Chorus]
  A               C#m
A thought comes to mind
      Bm7
Did I read it sometime?
   E          E7           | A | E E/F# E/G# |
Or hear it? I can't quite recall
       A           C#7          D       Bm7
That a man without love’s only half of a man
      E        E E/F#  E/G#| A | E E/F# E/G# |
But a woman is nothing at   all, yeah


[Coda]
       A           C#7          D       Bm7
That a man without love’s only half of a man
      E                      | D A/C# Bm | A
But a woman ... is nothing at all
