G#
The life that I'm seeking
D#7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
G#
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
C#
Feeling it go to my head
G#
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
D#7 G#
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
D#7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
G#
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
C#
And somewhere it's waiting for me
G#
And I know that it must be somewhere
D#7 G#
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
C#
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
G#
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C#
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
G# D#7
And what all the dog did today
G#
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
C# G#
What a beautiful world this would be
C# G#
And there would be us somewhere between lust
D#7 G#
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
D#7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
G#
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
C#
Walking through town tempting me
G#
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
D#7 G#
And sitting home watching TV
C#
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
G#
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C#
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
G# D#7
And what all the dog did today
G#
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
C# G#
What a beautiful world this would be
C# G#
And there would be us somewhere between lust
D#7 G#
And sitting home watching TV
