I've never been to me

Intro: [D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]

1. [D] Hey lady, [C] you, lady, [G] cursin' at your [Em] life
You're a [Am] discontented [D] mother and a [Em] regimented wife
[C] I've no doubt you [D] dream about the [G] things you'll never [Em] do
But I [A] wish someone had a [Asus4] talked to me [Gsus4] like I wanna talk to [D] you

Chorus: Ooh [G] I've been to Georgia and [D] California, oh, [Em] anywhere I could [Bm] run
[C] Took the hand of a [G] preacher man and we [Am] made love in the [D] sun [Dsus4] [D]
But I ran [G] out of places and [D] friendly faces be-[Em] cause I had to be [Bm] free
[C] I've been to [G] paradise, but I've [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me [Gsus4]

2. [D] Please lady, [C] please, lady, [G] don't just walk [Em] away
Cause I [Am] have this need to [D] tell you why I'm [Em] all alone today
[C] I can see so [D] much of me still [G] living in your [Em] eyes
Won't you [A] share a part of a [Asus4] weary heart that has [Gsus4] lived a million [D] lies

Chorus: Oh [G] I've been to Nice and the isle of [D] Greece
While I [Em] sipped champagne on a [Bm] yacht
[C] I moved like Harlow in [G] Monte Carlo and [Am] showed 'em what I've [D] got [Dsus4] [D]
I've been un-[G] dressed by kings and I've [D] seen some things
That a [Em] woman ain't s'posed to [Bm] see
[C] I've been to [G] paradise, but I've [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me [Gsus4]

Speak: [G] Hey, you know what paradise is? [Gsus4] It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
[G] People and places as we'd like them to be. [Gsus4] But you know what truth is?
[G] It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that [Gsus4] man you fought with
[G] This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight.
[C] That's truth, [D] that's love

Chorus: [Dsus4] Sometimes [G] I've been to cryin' for [D] unborn children
That [Em] might have made me [Bm] complete
But I, [C] I took the sweet life and [G] never knew I'd be [Am] bitter from the [D] sweet [Dsus4] [D]
I [G] spent my life exploring the [D] subtle whoring that [Em] cost too much to be [Bm] free
Hey lady, [C] I've been to [G] paradise, but I've [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me

[G][D][Em][Bm]

Outro: [C] I've been to [G] paradise, [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me
[G] (I've been to Georgia and [D] California, and [Em] anywhere I could [Bm] run)
[C] I've been to [G] paradise, [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me
[G] (I've been to Nice and the isle of [D] Greece While I [Em] sipped champagne on a [Bm] yacht)
[C] I've been to [G] paradise, [Am7] never [D] been to [G] me
[G] (I've been to cryin' for [D] unborn [Em] [Bm] children)
