[Bm][A][D]
[A][D][G][A]
I [Bm]used

[Verse 1]
to know this woman
Who had the most beautiful tat[A]toos
On the top sides of both of her [D]hands
[G]She was forty- three years
old and as far as I [A]know
Had never yet been with a man
[Bm]It's

[Verse 2]
not that she wasn't attractive
She was beautiful [A]but it was
the way that [D]she interacted
She [G]was aggressively passive
to the point
Where she would've in
[A]timidated any mitt
That ever tried to catch it
On the [Bm]right

[Verse 3]
hand she had
a tattoo of a nude girl
[A]She claimed it is what God resembled
[D]But[G] on the left she had a mirrored
image of the same female
An[A]d this one she explained
looked like the devil
I re[Bm]member

[Verse 4]
once watching her
touch her own breast[A]s
How the tattoos [D]smiled as they
[A]stared [D]down her stomach
[G]As if anticipating when they'd
be allowed to caress
[A]The sweet flower that they both
seemed to hunger
(Sweet flower)
[Bm]Now maybe

[Verse 5]
I was high
but it felt so right
[A]Heaven and Hell both take to
this wo[D]man's wom[A]b
[G]It didn't make sense how she
could commence
Touching [A]herself with me wide
awake in the same room
But if I've [Bm]learned

[Verse 6]
anything
in my years
(My years)
I learned I no [A]longer believe
in surprise
(In sur[D]prise)
[G]But what happened next damn
near stoled my tears
The tat[A]toos came

[Verse 7]
alive right
in front of my eyes
They both [Bm]slowly stood up
and climbed off her hands
[A]And showed me why she never too[D]k
some [A]time [D]with a man
[G]They climbed deep inside of
this woman's garden
She [A]closed her eyes

[Verse 8]
and she
gently bit her bottom lip
I [Bm]stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
[A]And I'll never forget all the
things I [D]saw that evening
[G]A glimpse of religion
a piece of coming closer
[A]To understanding more about
what intrigues me most
I did[Bm]n't get

[Verse 9]
turned on I just got turned
I wasn't [A]as aroused as I was [D]concerned
For [G]each one of 'em I've hurt and
every time I've been burned
[A]I've got a lot to teach but
even more to learn
So now [Bm]I keep

[Verse 10]
my eyes open
hoping to take in all [A]I can
About women [D]tak[A]ing in [D]all she can
[G]And for as long as I breathe
I'll save receipt
In my memory [A]for that woman
with the tattooed hands
There's [Bm]good

[Verse 11]
and evil in each
individual [A]fire
Identifies [D]needs and [A]feeds [D]our desire
[G]As long as we keep our spirit inspired
[A]She can bite her bottom
lip all she wants
There's [Bm]good

[Verse 12]
and evil in each
individual [A]fire
Identifies [D]needs and [A]feeds [D]our desire
[G]As long as we keep our spirit inspired
[A]She can bite her bottom
lip all she wants
There's [Bm]good

[Verse 13]
and evil in each
individual [A]fire
Identifies [D]needs and [A]feeds [D]our desire
[G]As long as we keep our spirit inspired
[A]She can bite her bottom lip all
[Bm]she[A]
[D][G][A]
wants
[Bm]...
