        Am                           D7/F#           Fmaj7
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret.
     Am                                        D7/F#       Fmaj7
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
        Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
     C                         D7/F#           Fmaj7    Am
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A.
                                 D7/F#
The strip joint veteran sits two away
                                            Fmaj7  Am      Fmaj7 D7/F#  Fmaj7
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime .... daiquiri


Am         C            D7/F#
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
    C/B                 Fmaj7         Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Am           C/B      Fmaj7
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Am         C           D7/F#
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
        C/B             Fmaj7         Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Am           C/B          Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety

Am  Fmaj7 D7/F#

but I'm afraid that I
    (Fmaj7)X1
Well, I may have faked it
Am                            Fmaj7
And I wouldn't be caught dead to dead to dead to dead in this place


      Am
Well, I'm afraid that I

I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
