Chords for I've Never Been To Me (Lyrics) - CHARLENE

_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey lady, [Eb] you [Bb] lady, cursing at [Gm] your life
[Bb] [Cm] You're a [F] discontented mother [Gm] and a _ regimented wife
[Eb] _ I've no doubt [F] you dream [Bb] about the things [Gm] you'll never do
[C] But I wish someone had to talk to me [Eb] like I wanna talk to you _
[Bb] I've been to [F] Georgia and California [Gm] and anywhere I [Dm] could run
[Eb] Took the hand [Bb] of a preacher [Cm] man and we made love [F] in the sun
But I [Bb] ran out of places [F] and friendly [Gm] faces because I had to [Dm] be free
I've been [Eb] _ [Gm] to paradise but [Cm] I've never been to me
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] Please [Eb] lady, please [Bb] lady, don't just walk [Gm] away
[Cm] Cause I have this need [F] to tell you [Gm] why I'm all alone [G] today
_ [Eb] I can see [F] so much of [Bb] me still living in [Gm] your eyes
[C] Won't you share a part of a weary heart [Eb] that has lived a million lies
[Bb] Oh, I've been to Nice [F] and the Isle of Greece [Gm] while I sipped champagne [Dm] on a yacht
[Eb] I moved like _ [Bb] Monte [Cm] Carlo and showed them what [F] I've got
I've been [Bb] undressed by kings and [F] I've seen some things [Gm] that are _ [Dm] supposed to see
[Eb] I've [Gm] been to paradise but [Cm] I've never [Bb] been to me
_ [F] Hey, you [Eb] know what paradise is?
[F] It's a lie
A [Bb] fantasy we create about people and places [F] as we'd like them to be
But you [Eb] know what truth is?
It's [F] that little baby you're holding
And it's [Bb] that man you fought with this morning
[F] The same one you're going to [Eb] make love with tonight
That's [F] truth, that's love
[G] Sometimes [Bb] I've been to [F] crying for unborn children [Gm] that made me [Dm] complete
[Eb] But I, I took the sweet [Bb] life and never knew I'd [Cm] be bitter from [F] the sweet
I spent [Bb] my life exploring [F] the subtle [Gm] whoring that costs too much to [Dm] be free
Hey, lay [Eb] it high
_ [Bb] To paradise
[Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ But [Cm] I've never [C] been [Bb] to me
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ And to [Bb] paradise
_ _ _ You're going [F] to make a boy out of him
[Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Eb] And [Bb] to paradise
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] He's a [F] mean, mean, mean, mean, mean, [Gm] mean, mean
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
