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 

G  O:
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 

E
