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