Verse 1:
[D5] Diamonds and pearls don't move this [D5]girl
She could be [E5]icy cold to the crawl[E5]
[D5] One of her lungs breathes in anot[D5]her world
While the [E5]other sticks around to blow you [E5]off
[D5] Even when the four winds blow,
[D5]she kinda passes by like she don't [E5]feel it, no mama she don't feel [E5]it
[D5] One of these days I'm gonna [D5]dive into her waves and
[E5] bring back the meaning of it all[E5]
Chorus 1:
So[C5]fia, I [G5]need ya, like a [D5]junkie needs a [E5]vein

D5 E5*
Fallin' down.... on me like rain

Verse 2:
[D5] They say in Ancient times, man, that women ruled the World
That the [E5]Goddess was the one who laid it down
[D5] Well, I got me a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a [E5]whisper, knock you right down to the ground
[D5] So go ahead, man, and say what you came to say
"The black widow's a [E5]spider, the black widow's a spider"
[D5] Then go and prepare for your dying day
Won't take one [E5]minute 'til you're curled up dead beside her
[E5]Oh yeah!
