♫ Verse 1:
Em    G     C    B7
 I met a woman with lips so red
Em     G     C   B7
 A face so lined like spiderwebs
  Em    G     C     B7
I'll always remember the things she said
       Em         G
They were so wise, she ope'd my eyes
     C      N.C.
And I'll never close again
Em      G        C        B7
 Oh, how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette
Em     G      C        B7
 I felt compelled to enquire of her success
Em     G       C    B7      Em
 How do you do, how do you be so in love with yourself?
    G          C
Tell me please 'cause I need help

♫ Chorus:
N.C.
She said
   Em       G
Every time you are succeedin'
      C         D
There's an old man somewhere seethin'
  Bm        A         A7
And spite's as good a reason to take his power
     Em      G
When you hate the body you are in
  C          D
Oh, love, you're actin' just for him
   Bm         A         A7
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
  Em         G
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love
  C         D
So take that rage and bottle up
  Bm      A       A7
And put a drop into his cup of wine
  Em         G
You don't need him, you don't need me
     C        D
With that poisoned bottle, you'll be free
    Bm         A       A7
But be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine


♫ Post-Chorus:
Em G
  (Ey-ey-ey-ey)
C       B7
(ey-ey-ey-ey, la-la-la)
Em G
  (Ey-ey-ey-ey)
C  B7
 (La-la-la)


♫ Verse 2:
Em    G        C    B7
 I met a young girl with eyes so bright
Em     G       C    B7
 She was already getting sick of life
Em       G       C   B7
 Her arms were laden with his merchandise
       Em       G        C
She asked me why I no longer try and waste my time


♫ Chorus:
N.C.
And I said "Spite!"
      Em       G
Cause every time you are succeedin'
      C         D
There's an old man somewhere seethin'
  Bm        A         A7
And spite's as good a reason to take his power
     Em      G
When you hate the body you are in
  C          D
Oh, love, you're actin' just for him
   Bm         A         A7
As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower
  Em         G
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love
  C         D
So take that rage and bottle up
  Bm      A       A7
And put a drop into his cup of wine
  Em         G
You don't need him, you don't need me
     C        D
With that poisoned bottle, you'll be free
    Bm         A       A7
But be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine
  G          F       C
Be damn sure you don't mix it up with mine


♫ Outro:
Em    G     C    B7
