Ive Never Been To Me chords by Charlene (Ver. 3)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G     F     C        G Am
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
     F          G  Am
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
F          G      C      G    Am
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
     D
But, I wish someone had talked to me
     F         G
Like I wanna talk to you.


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

Verse 2:
G      F      C     G   Am
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
     F          G        Am
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
F      G        C   G    Am
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
     D                   F          G
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies.


Chorus 2:
     C          G           Am          Em
Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece where I sipped champagne on a yacht
 F          C       Dm          G
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and Showed them what I've got
      C          G             Am             Em
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
F      C       Dm       C
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.

G Am Em F C Dm C


Chorus 3:
        C         G          Am           Em
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
    F           C         Dm       G
But I.. I took the sweet life I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
      C         G         Am          Em
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free, hey lady...
F      C        Dm       C
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.

Repeat, fade and enjoy
