Lana Del Rey - Fingertips: chords

18+
     A#          Am                        A#
When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic
bags
Am                   F         Em
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate some small 
   Am
intention
   Em                    Am             Dm         G
Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two

A#                                 Am
Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark?
        A#                      Am
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
    Gm
And if I do, will you be there with me, Father,
A
Sister, Brother?

A#
Charlie, stop smoking
                       C
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be alright?
       A#           C
Will I have one of mine?
      A#
Can I handle it even if I do?
                C
It's said that my mind
                                 A#
Is not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
Am              Dm
I guess I'll be fine

             A#
It wasn't my idea, the cocktail of things
                       Gm
that twists neurons inside
                       C
But without them, I'd die
                               A
They say there's irony in the music,
                A#
it's a tragedy, I
     Gm           C
See nothing Greek in it
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with
                            A
Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave
                      A#
Who hung himself real high
             Gm  C
In the National Park sky, it's a shame
                    C#dim
and I'm crying right now
   Dm                                  A
To get to you, save you, if I take my life
          F                   C      C#dim
Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
                         A#
Give you two seconds to cry
               C
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
                              C#dim    Dm
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
              G C
'Cause, baby, I
                                         A
Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it

A#
I couldn't handle it, I was in Monaco
I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
C
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
Sat in the shower
                 A          Gm
Gave myself two seconds to cry
        Gm            C
It's a shame that we die


When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors
        F
did a drive-by
                               A#           F
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach
side
         A#                    F
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
     A#                         C
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
                      A   A#
But, sometimes, it's just not your time

Caroline, what kind of mother was
she to say I'd end up in institutions?
All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron
Greene and sit by
The lake, twisting lime into the
drinks that they made
Have a babe at sixteen, the town
I was born in, and die

        Dm       C
Aaron ended up dead and not me
                                       F
What the fuck's wrong in your head to send me away
never to come back?
  Dm     C                                    A
Exotic places and people don't take the place of
             A#
being your child
  A#m                          F
I give myself two seconds to cry

        Dm         C
Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea
               A A#
Call me Aphrodite
         C
As they bow down to me

Gm          A            A#            C
Sunbather, moon chaser, queen of empathy
                   A           A#
I give myself two seconds to breathe
        Dm                      C
And go back to being a serene queen
                              A A#
I just needed two seconds to be me
