Verse 1:
Em       G          C       B7 
 I met a woman with lips so red 
Em          G          C     B7 
  A face so lined like spiderwebs 
    Em        G          C          B7 
I'll always remember the things she said 
             Em                 G 
They were so wise, she ope'd my eyes 
         C            N.C 
And I'll never close again 
Em           G               C               B7 
 Oh, how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette 
Em         G           C               B7 
 I felt compelled to enquire of her success 
Em          G              C        B7            B7 
 How do you do, how do you be so in love with yourself? 

Tell me please 'cause I need help 

 

She said 
      Em              G 
Every time you are succeedin' 
           C                 D 
There's an old man somewhere seethin' 
    Bm                A                  Am 
And spite's as good a reason to take his power 
         Em            G 
When you hate the body you are in 
    C                   D 
Oh, love, you're actin' just for him 
      Bm                  A                  Am 
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower 
    Em                 G 
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love 
   C                  D 
So take that rage and bottle up 
    Bm           A             Am 
And put a drop into his cup of wine 
    Em                  G 
You don't need him, you don't need me 
          C                D 
With that poisoned bottle, you'll be free 
       Bm                  A              Am 
But be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine

(Ey-ey-ey-ey, la-la-la) 
Em G

C    B7 
 (La-la-la) 
 
Verse 2:
Em       G               C       B7 
 I met a young girl with eyes so bright 
Em         G             C       B7 
 She was already getting sick of life 
Em             G              C      B7 
 Her arms were laden with his merchandise 
             Em              G                C 
She asked me why I no longer try and waste my time 


B7 
And I said 'Spite!' 
            Em              G 
Cause every time you are succeedin' 
           C                 D 
There's an old man somewhere seethin' 
    Bm                A                  Am 
And spite's as good a reason to take his power 
         Em            G 
When you hate the body you are in 
    C                   D 
Oh, love, you're actin' just for him 
      Bm                  A                  Am 
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower 
    Em                 G 
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love 
   C                  D 
So take that rage and bottle up 
    Bm           A             Am 
And put a drop into his cup of wine 
    Em                  G 
You don't need him, you don't need me 
          C                D 
With that poisoned bottle, you'll be free 
       Bm                  A              Am 
But be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine 
   G                   F              C 
Be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine 


Final 

Em       G          C       B7 
 I met a woman with lips so red 
Em         G          C          B7 
  Always remember the things she said
