But Its Better If We Do Chords

        Am
Now I'm of consenting age
         Dm
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
    Am
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
     Dm
May even ask my name


       Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
    Dm                                                  Am
I'm sitting and sweating to a dance song on the club's PA.
                                          Dm
And the strip joint veteran sits two away
                                                 G         D   F
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri...


Am        C            G   
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
      D                               Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
             C         D
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety


Am        C            G
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
       D                                Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
            C          D
Praying for love in a lap dance
                               Am     C     G     D
And paying in naivety 



Oh, but I'm afraid that I,

Well I may have faked it
    Am                        Dm
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place

      Am                    Dm
Well, I'm afraid that I,

That's right, well I may have faked it
    Am                    Dm
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place


Am        C            G
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
      D                               Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
            C         D
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety


Am        C            G
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
      D                                Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
            C         D
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety



(Instrumental)
Am          Am Dm        Am  Dm       Am  Dm

      Am                Dm
Well, I'm afraid that I,

Well I may have faked it
    Am                       Dm
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place


      Am                Dm
Well, I'm afraid that I,

That's right, well I may have faked it
    Am                   Dm
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place


Am        C            G
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
      D                                 Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
            C         D
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety


Am        C            G
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
      D                                 Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
            C          D
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety

Praying for love and paying in naivety

Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh


Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
Am     Dm
