             F 
Never been a woman 
               C 
But I know the pain 
            C7 
The pain of labor 
                   F 
And the warpath of age 
                  Bb 
I've been with so many 
                       F 
And yet none have seen through 
              C 
Despite their intuition 
                  Dm 
The extent of the ruse 
          F                 C7 
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman 
             F 
Why must I befriend each 


          C 
And every girl 
           C7 
I meet the lively lit bars 
                F 
This dying dark world 
                Bb 
I'm doped up on laughter 
                   F 
And they always oblige 
               C7 
This emptiness in me 
                  Dm 
With wet glassy eyes 
           Bb               C7 
Oh, yeah, I've never been a woman 
                         F 
But they've given me my life 


                F 
True love bears nothing 
               C 
In common with this 
                C7 
This constant amusement 
                  F 
Some ceaseless caress 
              Bb 
Yet I accept nothing 
                   F 
No price could be paid 
                C7 
The occasional miracle 
                 Dm 
With Marissa or Jane 
          Bb                C7 
Oh, now, I've never been a woman 


                F 
My time here is so brief 
             C 
I cannot pretend 
               C7 
That I can sustain you 
                    F 
Like this till the end 
                  Bb 
Don't lie to the ladies 
                 F 
It does not take words 
                   C 
All it takes is an inkling 
                   Dm 
That you, they can cure 
         Bb                C7 
Oh, now, I've never been a woman 
             F 
That much is sure 


          F 
Wandering hunger 
          C 
Honin' corrupt 
                  C7 
Lays waiting each moment 
                                     F 
While you tend, while you selflessly touch 
            Bb 
Satisfy and sate her 
                          F 
The only one in the room I can see 
                       C7                      Dm 
Who is really being pleasured is me, is me, is me 
          Bb               C7 
Oh, now, I've never been a woman 
                  F 
But I have known pain
