A
 Lately I've been having evil dreams

  E                      A
I wake up in a cold blue lair

  A
I run the tape back in my mind

       E                      A
Wonder if I took a wrong road somewhere

D
 Searching for the truth the way God designed it

Dsus4
 Well, the real truth is that I may be afraid to find it
[Chorus]
        A
Well, I need a woman

G   D     A
All right

A
Need a woman

G  D  A
Every night

D
 To be with me and know me as I am

D
 To show me the kind of love that don't have to be condemned

    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to

A
Be that woman

 G D   A
(Every day)

 A
(Be that woman)

 G D   A
(Every way)
[Verse 2]
            A
I've had my eyes on you, baby

    E         A
For five long years

          A
Well, you probably don't know me at all

                   E                           A
But I've seen your laughter and I've seen your tears

D
Tell-tale heart will show itself to anybody near

        D
There's always some new stranger in the night to lend a sympathetic ear
[Chorus]
        A
Well, I need a woman

   G  D  A
To be my own

  A
I need a woman

       G    D A
That's mine a-lone

D
 Seen you in the doorway, I seen you in the park

D
 Seen you in the sunshine, I seen you in the dark

    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to

A
Be that woman

 G   D  A
(Oh, no, no)

A
(Be that woman)

 G D   A
(Every way)
[Verse 3]
         A
You keep listening to something long enough

            E                          A
You're just bound to believe that it's true

                 A
You know there's some things that you put out

     E                  A
It's gonna come back on you

D
 That which is not permanent don't last

   D
Whatever's waiting in the future could be what you're running from in the past
[Chorus]
      A
Oh, I need a woman

G    D    A
I'll pull up

A
Need a woman

                  G  D A
Drinking from the same cup

D
 Someone who likes simple things, is not afraid to bend

D
 Someone who don't make herself up to make every man her friend

    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to

A
Be that woman

 G D   A
(Every day)

 A
(Be that woman)

 G D   A
(Every way)
[Verse 4]
A
 Don't know what you got that I want

      E                     A
Don't know what I've got to give

      A
Don't know how much time I got

      E                  A
Don't know how long I'll live

    D
The rebellion in my soul, why was it created?

D
To blur the focus of my mind and keep me isolated
[Chorus]
      A
But I need a woman

   G     D  A
It ain't no crime

A
Need a woman

G   D   A
All the time

D
 To see the promised land with me as the time goes by

D
 To rule my heart with sweetness and boldness from on high

    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to

A
Be that woman

G    D A
Yes, I do

A
Be that woman

G        D   A
Straight and true
