F#
The life that I'm seeking
C#7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
F#
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
B
Feeling it go to my head
F#
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
C#7 F#
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
C#7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
F#
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
B
And somewhere it's waiting for me
F#
And I know that it must be somewhere
C#7 F#
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
B
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
F#
And next Tuesday night's PTA
B
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
F# C#7
And what all the dog did today
F#
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
B F#
What a beautiful world this would be
B F#
And there would be us somewhere between lust
C#7 F#
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
C#7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
F#
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
B
Walking through town tempting me
F#
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
C#7 F#
And sitting home watching TV
B
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
F#
And next Tuesday night's PTA
B
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
F# C#7
And what all the dog did today
F#
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
B F#
What a beautiful world this would be
B F#
And there would be us somewhere between lust
C#7 F#
And sitting home watching TV
