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