VERSE:
Am Em F
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret
Am Em F
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
Em F
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P A
Am
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Em F Am C Bm F
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
CHORUS:
Am C F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm F
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Am C F
Oh and isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm F
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Am
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh......
VERSE:
*PALM MUTE*
But I'm afraid that I
Well I may of faked it

And I wouldn't be caught dead dead dead dead in this place
Am Em
Well I'm afraid that I
F
That's right well that I may have faked it
Am Em F (ring out)
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
CHORUS:

I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Am
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
