Verse 2
C
C
And the rose was exalted
G
G
D
D
in the palm of her hand
G
G
C
C
Along with her fist
G
G
D
D
G
G
and the beer in her can
C
C
As she barnstormed outside
G
G
D
D
like a witch on a broom
C
C
G
G
And shot a polished middle finger
D
D
G
G
to that man in the moon
C
C
G
G
Singin' hi's to the angel
D
D
and lo's to the hawk
G
G
C
C
G
G
I'm a woman in need of
D
D
a twenty -minute talk
G
G
C
C
G
G
With a pine -paneled wall
D
D
or a sugar cane stalk
G
G
C
C
Got a man out there somewhere
G
G
D
D
G
G
and he's fixin' to walk
C
C
You see I loved him for centuries
D
D
it seems to me now
G
G
C
C
She told the bartender
G
G
D
D
as he was wiping his brow
G
G
C
C
He was honest and simple
G
G
D
D
at least that's how he appeared
G
G
C
C
And he was pretty good
G
G
D
D
G
G
looking for a guy around here
C
C
But God, did he scare me
G
G
D
D
when he closed up inside
G
G
C
C
And would sit there for hours
G
G
D
D
G
G
like his whole world had died
C
C
Bm
Bm
Silent and breathless
D
D
G
G
like he'd punctured his lungs
C
C
G
G
Till his mouth became his quiver
D
D
and his sword became his tongue
G
G
C
C
And then I became his target
G
G
C
C
G
G
Cause his anger wouldn't melt,
no poem ever written
D
D
G
G
can describe how that felt
C
C
G
G
Singing highs to the angels
D
D
and lows to the hawk
G
G
C
C
G
G
I'm a woman in need of
D
D

G
G
C
C
G
G
With a pine panel wall or
D
D
a sugar cane stalk
G
G
C
C
I got a man out there somewhere
G
G
D
D
G
G
and he's fixing to walk
C
C
That bartender slammed
Bm
Bm
D
D
down his fist with a shout
G
G
C
C
And said, I'll have one with you,
G
G
D
D
G
G
you're wearin' me out
C
C
As a smile leaked out
G
G
D
D
of one silver -capped tooth
G
G
C
C
He said, I'm not too busy,
G
G
D
D
G
G
let's sit down in this booth
C
C
As a warm wind blew in
G
G
D
D
like a sweet baby's breath
G
G
C
C
Then an angel appeared
G
G
D
D
G
G
and took one look and left.
C
C
She said, God, I'm so selfish,
G
G
Am
Am
D
D
G
G
I could not let it pass.
C
C
I swarmed his convictions
G
G
D
D
G
G
and I badgered his ass.
C
C
G
G
It's like he poured some concrete
Bm
Bm
D
D
and left it in the yard.
G
G
C
C
And I despise what he's doing,
G
G
D
D
G
G
so I just let it get hard.
C
C
G
G
Singin' highs to the angels
D
D
and lows to the hawk
G
G
C
C
G
G
I'm a woman in need of
D

G

and he's fixin' to walk

When the bartender called out,

Will I see you tomorrow?
C
C
She said, probably not,
G
G
D
D
if I can find my old man
G
G
C
C
He said, leave him alone
G
G
D
D
She said, you don't understand
G
G

That's what I've been doing
G

That's the horse I've been riding

You see the fear I've
been showing
G
G
D
D
That's the fear he's been hiding
G
G
C
C
G

So I've been no better,
D
D
but he's no less a fool
G
G
C
C
I'm gonna bust him for that,
G
G
D
D
but he can bust me too
G
G

And then he'll take his choice
