As Good a Reason

[Intro]

Em            G
 (Ey-ey-ey-ey, ey-ey-ey-ey)
C       B7

[Primera Parte]

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       
I'll always remember the things 
   B7
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  
 Oh, how she sighed when she 
             B7
stubbed her cigarette
Em         G           C        
 I felt compelled to enquire of 
       B7
her success
Em          G              C    
 How do you do, how do you be so
    B7            B7
 in love with yourself?

Tell me please 'cause I need help

[Estribillo]

She said
      Em              G
Every time you are succeedin'
           C                
There's an old man somewhere 
 D
seethin'
    Bm                A           
And spite's as good a reason to 
       Am
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       
As he counts his gold and green in
           Am
 his ivory tower
    Em                 G
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love
   C                  D
So take that rage and bottle up
    Bm           A             Am
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      
But be damn sure you don't mix it 
        Am
up with mine

[Segunda Parte]

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

[Estribillo]

B7
And I said "Spite!"
            Em              G
Cause every time you are succeedin'
           C                
There's an old man somewhere 
 D
seethin'
    Bm                A

Oh, love, you're actin' just for him
      Bm                  A       
As he counts his gold and green in
           Am
 his ivory tower
    Em                 G
Our fear, it lines his pockets, love
   C                  D
So take that rage and bottle up
    Bm           A             Am
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

        Am

   G                   F       
Be damn sure you don't mix it up 
       C
with mine
