{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
She can [Bb]kill with a [Eb]smile, she can [Bb]wound with her [Eb]eyes
She can [Eb]ruin your [Ab]faith with her [AbM7]casual [Ab6]lies [AbM7]
And she [Bb]only re[Eb]veals what she [Bb]wants you to [G7]see
She [Cm]hides like a [Eb/Bb]child,
But she's [Ab]always a [Bb]woman to [Eb]me [Ebsus] [Eb]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
She can [Bb]lead you to [Eb]love, she can [Bb]take you or [Eb]leave you
She can [Eb]ask for the [Ab]truth, but she'll [AbM7]never be[Ab6]lieve [AbM7]
And she'll [Bb]take what you [Eb]give her, as [Bb]long as it's [G7]free
She [Cm]steals like a [Eb/Bb]thief,
But she's [Ab]always a [Bb]woman to [Eb]me [Ebsus] [Eb] [Gm/D]

[Cm]Ohhh.. [Eb/Bb] [F/A] she takes [F7]care of
Her[Bb]self, [Dm/A] [Gm7] she can [Eb]wait if she
[Ab]Wants, [Cm/G] [Fm7] she's a[Bb7]head of her [Eb]time [Ebsus] [Eb]
[Ebm7]Ohhh.. [Gb6/Db] [Ab7/C] and she [Ab7]never gives
[Db]Out, [Fm/C] [Bbm7] and she [Gb]never gives
[B]In, [Ebm/Bb] [Adim7] she just [F7]changes her [Bb]mind [Bb6] [Bb7] [Bb6]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 3}
And she'll [Bb]promise you [Eb]more than the [Bb]Garden of [Eb]Eden
Then she'll [Eb]carelessly [Ab]cut you and [AbM7]laugh while you're [Ab6]bleedin' [AbM7]
But she'll [Bb]bring out the [Eb]best and the [Bb]worst you can [G7]be
Blame it [Cm]all on your[Eb/Bb]self
'Cause she's [Ab]always a [Bb]woman to [Eb]me [Ebsus] [Eb]

She is [Bb]frequently [Eb]kind and she's [Bb]suddenly [Eb]cruel
She can [Eb]do as she [Ab]pleases, she's [AbM7]nobody's [Ab6]fool [AbM7]
But she [Bb]can't be con[Eb]victed, she's [Bb]earned her de[G7]gree
And the [Cm]most she will [Eb/Bb]do
Is throw [Ab]shadows at [Cm/G]you
But she's [Fm]always a [Bb7]woman to [Eb]me [Ebsus] [Eb]
