Section 1

C              F             C            C        Dm

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life

F                    C                Dm

You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife

F                   C                               C                 C       Dm

I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do

D

But, I wish someone had talked to me

F                       C

Like I wanna talk to you.

C                                   C                    Dm                      Em

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run

F                            C                                  Dm                    C

I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun

C                         C                    Dm                          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

C             F           C            C         Dm

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away

F                    C                Dm

'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today

F                   C                     C         C       Dm

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

D                                                  F                         C

Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies.

C                                   C                    Dm                      Em

Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece when I sipped champagne on a yacht

F                            C                                  Dm                    C

I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got

C                         C                    Dm                          Em

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see

F                   C           Dm                            C

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

C-Dm-Em-F-C-Dm-C

C                                   C                    Dm                      Em

(Spoken) Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie

F                            C                                  Dm                    C

A fantasy we created about people and places as we'd like them to be

C                         C                    Dm                          Em

But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding

F                   C           Dm                            C

And it's that man you fight with this morning, the same one you are going to make love with tonight

That's truth, that's love.

C                                   C                    Dm                      Em

Sometimes I've been crying' for unborn children that might have made me complete

F                            C                                  Dm                    C

But I, I took the sweet life I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

C                         C                     Dm                          Em

I've spent my life exploring, the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free

F                   C           Dm                            C

Hey, lady, I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
