[Opening]
She can [A]kill with a [D]smile, she can [A]wound with her [D]eyes.

She can [D]ask for the [G]truth, but she’ll [D]never be[G]lieve
And shell [A]take what you [D]give her, as [A]long as its [F#]free
She [Bm]steals like a [Em]thief, but she’s [G]always a wo[A]man to [D]me
[chorus]

She’s [A]ahead of her [D]time, [G]and she never gives [C]out. [Am]
And she never gives [A#]in, she just [E7]changes her [A]mind.
[section 3]
And she’ll [A]promise you [D]more, than the gar[A]den of [D]eden.
Then she’ll [D]carelessly [G]cut you, and [D]laugh while you’re [G]bleeding.
But she’ll [A]bring out the [D]best, and the [A]worst you can [F#]be.
Blame it [Bm]all on your[Em]self, cause she’s al[G]ways a wo[A]man to [D]me.

[Closing]
She is fre[A]quently [D]kind, and she’s [A]suddenly [D]cruel.
She can do as she [G]pleases, she’s no[D]body’s [G]fool.
But she [A]can’t be con[D]victed, she’s [A]earned her [F#]degree.
And the [Bm]most she will do, is throw [G]shadows at [D]you.
But she’s [Em]always a [A]woman to [D]me.
