             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
