[Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
Woman

C#m
Caught behind those burning eyes

                            A
Tangled up in morning white
Do you ever really know
                         E
Can you ever really know
[Verse 2]
E
Woman

C#m
Watch her take me by surprise

                               A
When she lets me call her mine
Do you ever really know
                         E
Can you ever really know
[Pre-Chorus]
A                                    C#m
And I don't know the loneliness she long

                                    F#m    C#m
I don't hear the frosty words that call inside

             A    C#m B
When you're gone again
[Chorus]
E                                                    G#m
I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time

C#m                                                       A
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes

E                                             G#m
As the night descends, it's always slow again

C#m                                     A
I am left in awe of the woman I adore, oh
[Verse 3]
E
Woman

C#m
I never had such a sign

                         A
Burn itself into my mind
Do you ever really know
                         E
Can you ever really know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                                  C#m
You say the sun doesn't shine for you

                                F#m      C#m
I hope you learning that's not true, in time

              A     C#m B  C#m
When you're gone again

          A    C#m  B
Just as long again
[Chorus]
E                                                     G#m
I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time

C#m                                                       A
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes

E                                                G#m
As the night descends, oh it's always slow again

C#m                                      A
But I am left in awe of the woman I adore
[Bridge] E G#m C#m A x2 [Outro Chorus]
E                                                     G#m
I can't read your mind though I'm trying all the time

C#m                                                       A
There's something I don't know, I can see it in your eyes

E                                                 G#m
And as the night descends, it's always slow again

C#m                                       A
But I am left in awe of the woman I adore
