VERSE:
Am F E
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret.
Am F E
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
F E
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A.
Am
The strip joint veteran sits two away
F E F E Dm
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
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
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
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
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
Am F E
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead in this place
Am F
Well, I'm afraid that I
E
That's right well, that I may have faked it
Am F E
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Am C F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
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
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
SOLO:
Am, Am, F, F, E, E x2
Am F
Well, I'm afraid that I
E
Well, I may of faked it
Am F E
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead, dead in this place x2
CHORUS:
Am C F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
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
E F
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
E Dm E
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
