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

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

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

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          Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance

And paying in naivety

[Interlúdio] Am

Am                     F#
Oh, but I'm afraid that I
F
Well I may have faked it
    Am                        Em                        F
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place
