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

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