Lana Del Rey - hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it: chords

      Am                      G                      D
I was reading Slim Aarons and I got to thinking that I thought
   Am                       G                     D
Maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like all of these debutantes
 Am                         G                         D
Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts
    Am      G     D
But I'm not, baby I'm not
    Am     G      D
No, I'm not that, I'm not

Chorus:
           C                    D                         Em                  C
I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown, twenty-four seven, Sylvia Plath
  C                      D                          Em                       C
Writing in blood on the walls 'cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad
      C                       D                        G          D/F#        C
Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not, but at best I can say I'm not sad
        C                    G                    D
'Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
C                     G                    D/F#
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

I had 15-year dances
Church basement romances, yeah, I've cried
Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
Is the only love I've ever known
Except for the stage, which I also call home, when I'm not
Servin' up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad
Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, Dad"

Chorus:
I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown
Like a goddamn near sociopath
Shaking my ass is the only thing that's
Got this black narcissist off my back
She couldn't care less, and I never cared more
So there's no more to say about that
Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past

          Am                 G                  D
There's a new revolution, a loud evolution that I saw
 Am                    G                   D
Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known
   Am                      G                        D
A modern day woman with a weak constitution 'cause I've got
 Am                      G                      D
Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
   Am                     G                      D
A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off

Chorus:
I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown
24/7 Sylvia Plath
Writing in blood on your walls
'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad
They write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not
But at best, you can see I'm not sad
But hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have

 C                    G                    D/F#
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
    C     G         D/F#
But I have it, yeah I have it
      C     G    D/F#   C
Yeah, I have it, I have
