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

       G                     D              Em               Bm
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
  C                  G                   Am               D
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
    G                       D                Em                Bm
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
C             G           Am                 G  D  Em  Bm  C  G  Am  G
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

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

         G                   D              Em               Bm
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
  C                  G                   Am               D
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
      G                     D                Em                Bm
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
C             G           Am                  G  D  Em  Bm  C  G  Am  G
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.
