        A#7          D#
She can kill with a smile
        A#7             D#
She can wound with her eyes
         D#7       G#             D#     G#
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
        A#7    D#              A#7           G
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
     Cm           Fm
She hides like a child
          G#        A#7      D#
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her
As long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Chorus:
Cm  F          F7         A#  Gm
Ohhh she takes care of herself
                     G#   Fm
She can wait if she wants
       A#7          D#  D#7
She's ahead of her time
D#m7 G#7                 C# A#m
Ohhh and she never gives out
                    B F
And she never gives in
          F7          A#  A#7
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

Chorus

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
