Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]Hey lady, [C]you, lady,
[Am]cursin' [G]at your life
[Em]You're a discon[Am]tented [C]mother
[D]an [Em]d a rich inventive wife[C]
I've no doubt you [D]dream about the things
[G]you'll nev[Bm]er do[Em]
But I [C#dim]wish someone [A]had a talked
to me like I [D]wanna talk to you
[C]Ooh

[Verse 2]
[Dsus4]I've been[D] to Geor[G]gia and [Em]California,[D]
oh, [Em]anywhere I could [Bm]run
[C]Took the hand of a preacher [G]man
[C]and [Am]we made love in [C]the [D]sun
[C]But I ran[D] out[G] of places and f[D]riendly
faces be[Em]cause I had to be [Bm]free
[C]I've been to [G]paradis[Em]e,
[Am]but I've never [C]been [D]to me[G][C]
[G][D][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]Please lady, please,
lady, don't just walk [Bm]away[Em]
Cause I [Am]have this need [C]to tell [D]you why
[Em]I'm all alone [C]today[Em][C]
I can see so [D]much of me [G]still
living in your [Em]eyes
Won't [A]you share a part of a weary heart
[D]that [C]has lived a million [D]lies

[Verse 4]
[G]Oh I've been to [D]Nice and the
isle [Em]of Greece
While I [Bm]sipped [C]champagne on a yacht
I [G]moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and
[Am]showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by [D]kings and
I've [G]seen [D]some things
That a wo[Em]man ain't s'posed to [Bm]see
[C]I've been to [G]paradis[Em]e,
but [Am]I've never been [C]to me

[Verse 5]
[G]Hey, you know what paradise is? It's
a lie. A fantasy we create about
People and [D]places as we'd like them to be.
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, and
it's [C]that [D]man you fought with
This morning, the [G]same one you're going
to make love with tonight.
[D]That's truth, that's love

[Verse 6]
Sometimes I've been [Em]to cryin'
for unborn children
[Bm]That might have made me complete
But I, I took the [C]sweet life and never knew
I'd be bitter [G]from the sweet
[Am]I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring
[D]that cost too much to be fre[G]e
Hey lady, I've been to paradise,
but I've [D]never been to me

[Verse 7]
I've been to para[Em]dise, never
been to [Bm]me
(I've been to Georgia and California,
and [C]anywhere I could run)
I've been to para[G]dise,
never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the
isle [C]of Greece
While I sipped champagne
[G]on a yacht)
I've [Am]been [D]to paradise, nev[G]er been to [D]me[Em][Bm][C]
[G][Em][Am][D]
[G][D][Em][Bm]
[C][G][Am][D]
(I've been [G]to

[Outro 1]
cryin' for unborn children)
[D][Em]
