[Em]
But yeah, there [Em] was a time I didn't like the love I like the climbers was no sister then it's running out of time and one
[Am] Miners [Em] and I was afraid like you are when you're too [Am] young to know the time
And so I watched the way you take a fear and hoard the horizon you point you have a word for every woman
You can lie your eyes on
[G] Like you own them just because you [Em] bought the time
And [E] you turn to me you say you hope I'm not threatened
Whoa, [C] I'm not [G] that petty
School [C] as I am.
I thought you know [Em] this already.
I will not be
afraid of women I will not be
afraid of women
[Am]
[C] [A] [Em]
So now we're at a club watch the one dancing.
She is drunk and she is smiling and she's [Am] falling in that slow
[E] Descending funk [Em] and the whole bar is loud and proud everybody's trying it
You play the artist saying is it how she moves or how she looks I say it's loneliness
Suspended [E] to our own like grappling hooks [G] and as long as she's got noise.
[Em] She's fine
[F] But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the [E] music's and did
Whoa, [C] and that's [G] not petty
School as [C] I am.
I thought you know [Am] this already.
I will [C] not be
[G] afraid [Am] of women I will not be
afraid of women
[C] Try to make me doubt [Am] to make me guess try [C] to make [Em] me feel like a little
Less so I like you [Am] when you saw was there
[C] I thought you knew [Am] how to be scared [G] and now it's amazing what you did [Em] to make me stay
[E] But truth is just like time it catches up and it just keeps going
Whoa
[C] So [Em] I'm leaving [Am] you can find out how much better things [C] can get and if it [Em] helps
That's a feel a [F] little worse than I [E] did when we [Am] met
[Em] So when you find someone else you try again my work next time
You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say though if I could believe that stuff
I'd say that woman has a [Am] halo
[G] And I look at him say yeah, [Em] she's really blonde
[E] And then I go outside to join the others.
I am the others Whoa
[C] And that's [G] not easy
Don't know what [Am] you saw.
I want somebody [E] who sees me.
I will [G] not be
Afraid [Em] of women I will not be
afraid of women
