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