I've never been to me - Charlene
[Intro]
F Fsus4 F Fsus4
[Verse 1]
F D# A# A#6 Gm
Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
Cm F Gm
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
D# F A# A#6 Gm
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
C Csus4 A#sus4 F
But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
[Chorus]
A# F Gm Dm
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
D# A# Cm F Fsus4 F
Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
A# F Gm Dm
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
D# A# Cm7 F A# A#sus4
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[Verse 2]
F D# A# A#6 Gm
Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
Cm F Gm
Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
D# F A# A#6 Gm
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
C Csus4 A#sus4 F
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
[Chorus]
A# F
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
Gm Dm
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
D# A# Cm F Fsus4 F
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
A# F
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
Gm Dm
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
D# A# Cm7 F A# A#sus4
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[Bridge Spoken]
A# A#sus4
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie. A fantasy we create about
A# A#sus4
People and places as we'd like them to be. But you know what truth is?
A# A#sus4
It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with
A#
This morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight.
D# F
That's truth, that's love
[Chorus]
Fsus4 A# F
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
Gm Dm
That might have made me complete
D# A# Cm F Fsus4 F
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
A# F Gm Dm
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
D# A# Cm7 F A#
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[Link]
A# F Gm Dm
[Outro]
D# A# Cm7 F A#
I've been to paradise, never been to me
A# F Gm Dm
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
D# A# Cm7 F A#
I've been to paradise, never been to me
A# F Gm Dm
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
D# A# Cm7 F A#
I've been to paradise, never been to me
A# F Gm Dm
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children)
D# A# Cm7 F
