[Intro]

     Am
Now I'm of consenting age
         G                 F
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
    Am
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
     G          F
May even ask my name

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

[Estribillo]

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
             Am         G
Praying for love in a lap dance

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
             Am         G
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety

[Break]

Oh, but I'm afraid that I

Well, I may of faked it 

[Verso 2]

   Am                        G             F
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead in this place

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

[Estribillo]

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
             Am         G
Praying for love in a lap dance

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
             Am         G
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety
