Verse
E D A E F#m
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
D E F#m
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
D E A E F#m
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
B
But, I wish someone had talked to me
D E
Like I wanna talk to you.
[Chorus]
A E F#m C#m
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
D A Bm E
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
A E F#m C#m
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
D A Bm A
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
E F#m C#m D A Bm A
[Verse]
E D A E F#m
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
D E F#m
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
D E A E F#m
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
B D E
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies.
[Chorus]
A E F#m C#m
Oh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece while I sipped champagne on a yacht
D A Bm E
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
A E F#m C#m
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pposed to see
D A Bm A
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.
D A Bm A
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.
