Verse 1:
E      A     B   E
Nobody feels any pain,
           A      B        E
tonight is lost inside the rain
A         B
Ev'rybody knows,
     A              B
that Baby's got new clothes
    A   Abm Gbm E       B
But lately I  see her ribbons and her bows,
     Dbm     E    A   B
have fallen from her curls.
 
Chorus:
    E     Abm   Gbm     A
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
    E          Abm   Gbm     A
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
        E     Abm   Gbm     A
And she aches just like a woman
        B                         E
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Verse 2:
E           A     B  E
Queen Mary, she's my friend,
                    A      B    E
yes, I believe I'll go see her again
A             B
Nobody has to guess, 
A                  B
that Baby can't be blessed
     A   Abm      Gbm   E    B
Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest;
         Dbm       E           A       B
with her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
 
Chorus:
    E     Abm   Gbm     A
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
    E          Abm   Gbm     A
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
        E     Abm   Gbm     A
And she aches just like a woman
        B                         E
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Bridge:
       Ab7
It was raining from the first,
 
and I was dying there of thirst;
     E
so I came in here
         Ab7
And your long-time curse hurts,
 
but what's worse,
        A
is this pain in here
        B
I can't stay in here;
 
ain't it clear that
 
Verse 3:
E A    B     E
I just can't fit
                    A        B     E
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
A             B
When we meet again,
A             B
introduced as friends;
A      Abm    Gbm  E  B
please don't let on that you knew me when,
      Dbm                E  A B
I was hungry and it was your world.
 
Chorus:
        E    Abm   Gbm     A
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
    E         Abm   Gbm     A
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
         E    Abm   Gbm     A
Then you ache just like a woman
        B                        E
But you break just like a little girl.
