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