Dm F Am Bb

[Verse]
Dm     F              Am
Sickly sweet, candied meat in
                  Bb         Dm
A fragrant greasy spoon
      F            Am
Knock knock black coffee
                       Bb
working until the afternoon

    Gm     Dm
She hardly sleeps
    Gm     Dm
She hardly eats
    Gm     Dm
She hardly breaths
                   F         Dm
When you're in her breathing space

F                          Am
Cat calling white van patrolling
                              Bb      Dm
The streets as she walks from work
F            Am
Rip hard and jeer from a far
                            Bb
As she sits with a drooling smirk

    Gm     Dm
She hardly sleeps
    Gm     Dm
She hardly eats
    Gm     Dm
She hardly breaths
                   F         Dm
When you're in her breathing space

Gm                 Dm
She brushes it off
                    F
Like she always does
                     C
Drops through the subway

Disappeares with the flood


[Chorus]
Bb            Dm
I am a woman
    C
And I am a woman
Bb            Dm
I am a woman
C
I am a woman


[Interlude]
Dm F Am Bb

[Verse]
Dm  F                     Am
She comes over I hear her moan
                    Bb      Dm
The walls are paper thin
                 F                     Am
His friends come around, they pass her around
                         Bb
Her head goes around the bend

    Gm     Dm
She hardly sleeps
    Gm     Dm
She hardly eats
    Gm     Dm
She hardly breathes
                   F         Dm
When you're in her breathing space

Gm                  Dm
She brushes it off
                    F
Like she always does
                 C
Puts on her make up

Faces the day

       Gm     Dm
As she hardly sleeps
    Gm     Dm
She hardly eats
    Gm     Dm
She hardly breaths
                   F         Dm
When you're in her breathing space


[Chorus]
Bb            Dm
I am a woman
    C
And I am a woman
Bb            Dm
I am a woman
           C
And I am a woman
              Bb      Dm
And I am your mother
          C
I am your sister
              Bb        Dm
And I am your daughter
       C
I am a woman
