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