    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
