Origin version:
1. [G] There are [Am] times when a [D] woman has to [G] say what's on her mind
Even [Am] though she knows [D] how much it's gonna [G] hurt
[Am] Before I say another [D] word let me [G] tell you, I [E] love you
Let me hold [Am] you close and [C] say these words as [Am] gently as I [D7] can.
2. [Am] There's been another [D] man that I've [G] needed and I've loved
[Am] But that doesn't [D] mean I love you [G] less
And he [Am] knows he can't pos-[D] sess me and he [G] knows he never will
There's just this [Am] empty place in-[C] side of me that [Am] only he can [D7] fill
Chorus: [Am] Torn between two [D] lovers, [Bm] feelin' like a [E] fool
[Am] Lovin' [D] both of you is [G] breakin' all the [D] rules
[Am] Torn between two [D] lovers, [Bm] feelin' like a [E] fool
[Am] Lovin' you both is [D7] breakin' all the [G] rules.
3. [Am] You mustn't think you've [D] failed me just [G] because there's someone else
You were the [Am] first real love [D] I ever [G] had
[Am] And all the things I [D] ever said, I [G] swear they still are [E] true
For [Am] no one else can [C] have the part of [Am] me I gave to [D7] you.
Bridge: [Am] I couldn't really [D] blame you if you [G] turned and walked away
But with [Am] everything I [C] feel inside, I'm [Am] asking you to [D7] stay
