But Its Better If You Do

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

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

[Verse]
         Am
Oh, but I'm afraid that I,

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

      Am                    Dm
Well, I'm afraid that I,
