Thank you.
[Ab] Thank you so much.
So, guess [Gb] what?
I have a new album coming [N] out next month.
It's called April.
That's a good one.
That's too much.
April, yes.
A brand new album.
And I, if you don't mind, I would like to do one song.
Yeah.
A brand new world premiere, never ever heard before song.
Premiering it here [Ab]
in Antwerp, Belgium.
[N] Yes.
Thank you!
[Gb] And it has something to do [N] with the Yes I Am album.
[Ebm] Because, because, um, I was like sometimes you [Eb] think about your past [Db] and those people in your past, right?
You think about [F] them and you, you, [Dm] you know, [D] oh gosh, all that energy and [B] everything.
But, but it's [G] okay.
And I know that I made my [Gb] own mistakes, [B] you know, and my choices I made were mine.
I [Ab] was very attracted to very pretty [Bb] things, you know, very, oh, that's so pretty, you know.
[Eb] I was trying to fill up maybe my own insecurities, you know.
And so when I, [N] when I think back at some people, some women that I [Db] knew that in their youth,
[Abm] they were very beautiful and, [Ab] and they used that.
They, [G] you know, that was their power.
That was, you know, what [G] they did.
And that's fine.
That's all good.
[E] But as they get [Ab] older, that changes, you know, what's, what's a [G] woman to do, you know, what's,
[Bb] what's, anyway, that's enough background.
[Ab] So this [E] song is called [Ab] A Woman Like You.
[C]
[Em] [G]
[C] You've been out looking for [Em] yourself.
What did you [G] find?
[C] You thought that you would [Em] change the world.
You just kept changing [G] your mind.
[F] You want to stay away to [Fm] heaven.
But you won't take [C] the journey one step [Am] at a time.
Too [G] long a climb, a climb.
But [F] a good [C] looking woman like [G] you never had [F] to wait for [C] her dreams to come [G] true.
Once upon [Am] a time, it [C] was all you [G] had to do.
Must be [F] a good [C] looking woman [G] like you.
[C] Walk through the door, [Em] turn the heads, make them think they're standing [G] fast.
[C] You turn down the lights, turn [Em] down the bed, leave you deep [G] into the night.
A little [F] piece of your [Fm] body.
Still you keep [C] the darkness [Em] of a heart [Am] that's blind.
It's weighing [G] heavy on your mind.
[F] A good looking [C] woman like [G] you never had [F] to wait for [C] her dreams to come [G] true.
Once upon [Am] a time, it [C] was all you [G] had to do.
Must be [F] a good [C] looking woman [G] like you.
But [Am] your books have been [C] judged now, cover to [G] cover.
And time has [F] made you one or [Am] the other.
Every choice [C] you make has been a whip on your [G] face.
And in between the lines, there you can find [F] the grace of [C] a woman [G] like you.
Shouldn't [F] have to wait for [C] her dreams to come [G] true.
Once upon [Am] a time, it [C] was all you had [G] to do.
Must be [F] a good [C] looking woman [G] like you.
Her [F] [C]
[G] life never [F] had to wait [C] for her dreams to [G] come true.
Once [Am] upon a time, [C] it was all you [G] had to do.
Must [F] be a good [C] looking woman like [G] you.
