Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Hey lad[C]y, you, lady,
[G]cur[C]sin' at your lif[Em]e
You're [Am]a disconten[C]ted mo[D]ther
and [C]a rich i[Em]nventive w[C]ife
I've no doubt [D]you dream about [G]the
things [D]you'll nev[Em]er do
But I [A]wish someone had a talked to me
like [Dsus4]I wanna t[C]alk to you[Dsus4]
[D]Ooh I've

[Verse 2]
[G]been to Georgia and [D]California,
[Em]oh, anywhere I could r[Bm]un
[C]Took the hand of a [G]preacher man
and [Am]we made love in the su[D]n
But I [G]ran out of places and [D]friendly
faces be[Em]cause I had to be [Bm]free
[C]I've been to [G]paradis[Em]e,
but [Am]I've never [Dsus4]been to me
[G][D][C][G][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Please lady, [C]please, lady,
[G]don't just walk awa[Em]y
Cause I [Am]have this [C]need to tell [D]you
why [Em]I'm all alone [C]today
I can see [D]so much of me [G]still
living [D]in your [Em]eyes
Won't [A]you share a part of a weary
heart [Dsus4]that has lived a million lies
[D]Oh I've

[Verse 4]
[G]been to Nice and
the [D]isle of Greece
While [Em]I sipped champagne
on [Bm]a yacht
[C]I moved like Harlow in [G]Monte [C]Carlo
an[Am]d showed 'em what I've [D]got
I've been [G]undressed by kings
and I've [D]seen some things
That a [Em]woman ain't s'posed [Bm]to see
[C]I've been to [G]paradis[Em]e,
but [Am]I've never [Dsus4]been to me
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Hey, you [C]know what paradise is? It's [D]a lie,
a fantasy we create [G]about
People and places as we'd like them
[D]to be but [Dsus4]you know what [C]truth is?
It's that little [D]baby you're holding,
and it's that man [G]you fought with
This morning, the [D]same one you're going
to make love with to[C]night
That's truth, that's [D]love
Some[Dsus4]times I'v[D]e

[Verse 6]
[G]been to
cryin' for [D]unborn children
That [Em]might have made me com[Bm]plete
But [C]I, I took the sweet life and [G]never
knew I'd be [Am]bitter from the [D]sweet
I spent my [G]life exploring [D]the subtle
whoring that [Em]cost too much to be free
[Bm]Hey lady, I've[C] been to p[G]aradise,[C]
[G]but I've nev[Am]er bee[Dsus4]n to me[G][D][Em][Bm]

[Verse 7]
[C]I've been to [G]paradis[Am] e,
[C]never [G]been to me
[D](I've been [Em]to Georgia and California,
and [Bm]anywhere I could [C]run)
I've been to [G]paradis[Am]e,
never been [C]to me
[Dsus4](I've been to [G]Nice and
the [D]isle of Greece
While I [Em]sipped champagne
[Bm]on a[C] yacht)
I've been to [G]paradise,
[C]never been to me[G]
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children)
