Intro: Eb  Ebsus4  Eb  Bb (voicing up a 3rd) Eb  Ab  Eb   
 
VERSE no tempo until the last Eb  
              Bb            Eb                   Bb                     Eb (pause)  
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes   
              Eb           Ab                 Ab7+   Ab6    Ab7+     
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.    
              Bb       Eb                    Bb                 G  (pause)  
And she only reveals what she wants you to see    
       Cm             Cm/Bb              Ab           Bb (Tempo)Eb / Ab / Eb  
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to  me

She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you 
                                Ab                    Ab7+     Ab6    Ab7+  
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe    
                Bb                   Eb              Bb        G  
And she'll take what you give her as long it's free    
       Cm              Cm/Bb              Ab          Bb            Eb / Ab / Eb / Bb/D  
She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me    
 
 
Cm  Cm/Bb F7/A                    F               Bb   Dm/A   Gm    
Ohhh...                   she takes care of herself.    
              Eb            Ab  Ab/G Fm             Bb               Eb  Ab Eb

Ebm  F#/C# Ab/C               Ab               C#   C#/C Bbm

              Bbm/F#      B B/Bb F7/A               F                  Bb Bb6 Bb7  
and she never gives in,                 she just changes her mind.  
 
 
VERSE  
                Bb6               Eb                  Bb            Eb   
And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden 
                                   Ab               Ab7+                      Ab6       Ab7+  
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.    
                Bb                Eb                Bb                   G  
But she?ll bring out the best and the worst you can be    
             Cm           Cm/Bb                 Ab          Bb             Eb / Ab / Eb  
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a women to me.

VERSE
    
          Bb6          Eb                    Bb           Eb  
She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel.  
              Eb            Ab                    Ab7+       Ab6   AbM7  
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool.    
             Bb              Eb                  Bb                G  
But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.   
             Cm                Cm/Bb        Ab              Eb/G    
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,   
               Fm         Bb             Eb Ebsus4 Eb   
but she's always a woman to me
