[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][E][Am][C][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I
met a woman with [F]lips so [E]red
[Am]A face so lined like spide[F]r webs[E]
[Am]I'll always remember the [F]things she said
[E]They were so wis[Am]e,
she ope'd my eyes and they'll [E]never close [Am]again
Oh, how she [C]sighed when she stubbed

[Verse 2]
[F]
her [E]ci garette
[Am]I felt compell[C]ed to
enquire [F]of [E]her success
[Am]How do you do? H[C]ow can you
[F]be so in [E]love with yourself?
Tell me please 'cause I need help

[Verse 3]
She said [Am]Every
time you are succeed[C]ing
[Am]There's an o[F]ld man somewhere,
seeth[G]ing
[Em]And spite's as g[E]ood [D]a reas
on to take his [Dm]power
[Am]When

[Verse 4]
you hate the body [C]you are in
Oh [F]love, you're acting just [G]for him
As he [Em]counts his gold [D]and green
in his ivory [Dm]tower

[Verse 5]
Our [Am]fear it lines his [C]pockets love
So [F]take that rage and [G]bottle up
And [Em]put [E]a drop int[D]o his cup [Dm]of wine

[Verse 6]
You [Am]don't need him,
you don't [C]need me
With that [F]poisoned bottle
you'll [G]be free
But be [Em]damn sure you don't [D]mix it up with

[Interlude 1]
mine

[Verse 7]
[Am]I met a young girl with eyes[F] so brig[E]ht
[Am]She was already getting [F]sick o[E]f life
[Am]Her arms were laden with[C]
his [F]merchandis[E]e
She asked [Am]me why I no longer
try and waste my [E]time
And I said "Spite"

[Verse 8]
'Cause every [Am]time you
are succeed[C]ing
There's an [F]old man
somewhere [G]seething
[Em]And spite's as good [D]a reas
on to [Dm]take his power

[Verse 9]
When you [Am]hate the body [C]you are in
Oh [F]love, you're acting just [G]for him
As he [Em]counts his [E]gold [D]and green
in his ivory [Dm]tower

[Verse 10]
Our [Am]fear it lines his [C]pockets love
So [F]take that rage and [G]bottle up
And [Em]put a drop int[D]o his cup [Dm]of wine

[Verse 11]
You [Am]don't need him,
you don't [C]need me
With that [F]poisoned bottle
you'll [G]be free
But be [Em]damn sure you
don't mix [D]it up with [Dm]mine
Be [C]damn sure you [Bb]don't mix
it up with [F]mine

[Verse 12]
[Am]I met a woman with lips [F]so r[E]ed
[Am]Always remember the thin[F]gs she said[E]
