C G/B Am F  x2  C
           G/B           Am              F                  C
Yea, there was a time I didn't like the love, I liked the climbers,
          G/B                 Am             F             Am  -
I was no brother then, I was running out of time and one liners,
    C             G/B                      Am            F                 C
And I was afraid, like you are when you're too young to know the time, and
       G/B                Am                 F           C
So I watched the way you take your fear and hoard the horizon,
                G/B             Am          F                Am -
You point, you have a word for every woman you can lay your eyes on,
         G                                     Em
Like you own them just because you bought the time,
         F                            NC
And you turn to me, you say you hope I'm not threatened,

   C              G                   C                  G/B          Am    F
Oh, I'm not that petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already,
            C    G/B     Am   F            C     F      (C  G/B   Am  F) x2
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.

C            G/B              Am             F                C
So now we're at a club, you watch the woman dancing, she is drunk,
        G/B               Am            F               Am  -
She is smiling and she's falling in a slow, descending funk,
     C               G/B                  Am          F          C
And the whole bar is loud and proud and everybody's trying, yeah.
              G/B             Am              F                 C
You play the artist, saying, "Is it how she moves, or how she looks?"
             G/B          Am             F                  Am -
I say, it's loneliness suspended to our own like grappling hooks,
         G                             Em
And as long as she's got noise, she's fine.
    F                                                  NC
But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the music's ended,
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dar-williams/353726.html ]
   C                 G                   C                  G/B          Am    F
Oh,  and that's not petty, as cool as I am, I thought you'd know this already,
            C    G/B     Am   F            C     F      (C  G/B   Am  F) x2
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.

              C       G/B       Am       F              C      G/B          Am      F
You tried to make me doubt, to make me guess, tried to make me feel like a little less,
       C         G/B       Am        F         C          G/B     Am      F
Oh, I like'd you when your soul was bared, I thought you knew how to be scared, 
               G                              Em
And now it's amazing what you did to make me stay,
      F                                                  
But truth is just like time, it catches up and it just keeps going,

C           G/B              Am                F                 C
And so I'm leaving, you can find out how much better things can get,
           G/B              Am            F                       Am  -
And if it helps, I'd say I feel a little worse than I did when we met,
     C            G/B                  Am                   F             C
So when you find someone else, you can try again, it might work next time,
             G/B             Am              F                      C
You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say low,
             G/B          Am         F                    Am -
"If I could believe that stuff, I'd say that woman has a halo,"
        G                                     Em
And I look out and say, "Yeah, she's really blonde,"
     F                                    NC
And then I go outside to join the others, I am the others,

   C                 G                   C                  G/B          Am    F
Oh, and that's not easy, I don't know what you saw, I want somebody who sees me,
            C    G/B     Am   F            C     F      (C  G/B   Am  F) x2  C
I will not be afraid of women, I will not be afraid of women.
