♫ Verse 1:
E minorEm    G+G     C majorC    B7B7
 I met a woman with lips so red
E minorEm     G+G     C majorC   B7B7
 A augmentedA face so lined like spiderwebs
  E minorEm    G+G     C majorC     B7B7
I'll always remember the things she said
       E minorEm         G+G
They were so wise, she ope'd my eyes
     C majorC      N.C.
And I'll never close again
E minorEm      G+G        C majorC        B7B7
 Oh, how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette
E minorEm     G+G      C majorC        B7B7
 I felt compelled to enquire of her success
E minorEm     G+G       C majorC    B7B7      E minorEm
 How do you do, how do you be so in love with yourself?
    G+G          C majorC
Tell me please 'cause I need help

♫ Chorus:
N.C.
She said
   E minorEm       G+G
Every time you are succeedin'
      C majorC         D MajorD
There's an old man somewhere seethin'
  B minorBm        A augmentedA         A7A7
And spite's as good a reason to take his power
     E minorEm      G+G
When you hate the body you are in
  C majorC          D MajorD
Oh, love, you're actin' just for him
   B minorBm         A augmentedA         A7A7
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
  E minorEm         G+G
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love
  C majorC         D MajorD
So take that rage and bottle up
  B minorBm      A augmentedA       A7A7
And put a drop into his cup of wine
  E minorEm         G+G
You don't need him, you don't need me
     C majorC        D MajorD
With that poisoned bottle, you'll be free
    B minorBm         A augmentedA       A7A7
But be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine

 I met a young girl with eyes so bright
E minorEm     G+G       C majorC    B7B7
 She was already getting sick of life
E minorEm       G+G       C majorC   B7B7
 Her arms were laden with his merchandise
       E minorEm       G+G        C majorC
She asked me why I no longer try and waste my time

N.C.
And I said "Spite!"
      E minorEm       G+G
Cause every time you are succeedin'
      C majorC         D MajorD
There's an old man somewhere seethin'

And spite's as good a reason to take his power

Oh, love, you're actin' just for him
   B minorBm         A augmentedA         A7A7
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
  E minorEm         G+G
