But It's Better If You Do

	 
[Strophe]
        Am 
Now I'm of consenting age 
      G                   F       Am 
To be forgetting you in a cabaret somewhere 
Am 
Downtown where a burlesque queen 
    G               F 
May even ask my name 
       Am 
As she sheds her skin on stage 
    G                        F 
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song 
                  Am 
On the club's P.A 
                                      G 
The strip joint veteran sits two away 
                      F 
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified 
Dm    Dm  Em   F 
Peach and lime    daiquiri
[Refrain]
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 
    Dm 
And paying in naivety? 
Am        C            F 
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me? 
    Dm                                   F 
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know 
            Em        G#dim 
Praying for love in a lap dance 
    G#dim 
And paying in naivety?
[Strophe]
Am G  F 
Buuuuuut, 
 
    Am

N.C 
Well, I may have faked it 
    Am                   G                    F 
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place 
      Am 
Well, I'm afraid that I 
G 
  Well, that's right

Dm 
Praying for love and paying in naivety

Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh
