Am C F E7...............
[Verse 1]
Am G F E7..I met a woman with lips so red
Am G F E7..A face so lined like spider webs
Am G F E7I'll always remember the things she said
Am E7They were so wise, she ope'd my eyes, and I'll never close again
Am C F E7..Oh, how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette
Am C F E7..I felt compelled to enquire of her success
Am C F E7.."How Do you do, how Do you be so in love with yourself?
Tell me please 'cause I need help"
[Chorus]
She said
Am C"Every time you are succeeding
F GThere's an old man somewhere seething
Em D Dm7And spite's as good a reason to take his power (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Am CWhen you hate the body you are in
F GOh, love, you're acting just for him
Em D Dm7As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Am C F GOur fear, it lines his pockets, love, so take that rage and bottle up
Em D Dm7And put a drop into his cup of wine (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Am CYou don't need him, you don't need me
F GWith that poisoned bottle, you'll be free
Em D Dm7But be **** sure you don't mix it up with mine" (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Am C F E7..I met a young girl with eyes so bright
Am C F E7..She was already getting sick of life
Am C F E7..Her arms were laden with his merchandise
Am E7She asked me why I no longer try, and waste my time
[Chorus]
And I said, "Spite!
Am C"Every time you are succeeding
F GThere's an old man somewhere seething
Em D Dm7And spite's as good a reason to take his power
Am CWhen you hate the body you are in
F GOh, love, you're acting just for him
Em D Dm7As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
Am C F GOur fear, it lines his pockets, love, so take that rage and bottle up
Em D Dm7And put a drop into his cup of wine
Am CYou don't need him, you don't need me
F GWith that poisoned bottle, you'll be free
Em D Dm7But be **** sure you don't mix it up with mine"
C Bb FBe **** sure you don't mix it up with mine"
[Outro]
Am C F E7..I met a woman with lips so red
Am C F E7..Always remember the things she said
