[Verse 1]
       G                      Em
Been tryin' so hard just to talk to you,
 D                      C               G
Haven't heard half of what you want me to.
Em  D  C

    G               Em
I hurt so bad over where we been
 D                    C               G
Don't know how not to go back there again.
Em  D  C

C                      D          F
I know what I want ta say can I get it
            C           D
through to you now in some other way

[Chorus]
                                               G                        D
There was this woman, and there was this man,
                   Em
And there was this moment they had a chance,
        D                C
To hold on to what they had.
                  G                     D
How could they be so in love, and still never see?
       Em
Now nothin' could be sadder than,
       D           C                G
this woman, this woman, and this man.

[Verse]
        G                  Em
A stranger's eyes in a lover's face,
        D          C                G
See no sign of a better time and place.
Em  D  C
        G               Em
Havin' lost a key to an open door,
    D
I feel the need to reach
C                  G  Em  D  C
out to you, even more.
C                            D
It's a circle we're goin' round, if we
F                       C
don't get us out from under,
      D
It's gonna take us down.

[Chorus]
                                               G                        D
There was this woman, and there was this man,
                   Em
And there was this moment they had a chance,
        D                C
To hold on to what they had.
                  G                     D
How could they be so in love, and still never see?
       Em
Now nothin' could be sadder than,
       D           C                G
this woman, this woman, and this man.

[Bridge]
C
For all we've got to loose,
                   Bb
and so much to gain,
                                    F
If we come this far and leave it behind,

it's only you and me to blame.

[Chorus]
                         G
You see there was this woman,
                     D
and there was this man,
                   Em
And there was this moment they had a chance,
        D                C
To hold on to what they had.
                  G                D
How could they be so in love, and still never see?
       Em
Yeah!  We can get it back again,
        D           C              G
this woman, this woman, and this man.
 D        Em  D  C  G
Oooo
