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