But I Have It Chords & Lyrics - Lana Del Rey - Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have

[VERSE 1]
I was [G]reading Slim Aarons and [Bm]I got to thinking that [A]I thought
[G]Maybe I'd get less stressed [Bm]if I was tested less [A]like
All of these d[Em]ebutantes
[G]Smiling for miles in pink [Bm]dresses and high heels on white [A]yachts
But [G]I'm not, baby, [Bm]I'm not
No, [A]I'm not, that [Em]I'm not

[CHORUS]
I've been [G]tearing around in my fucking [A]nightgown
2[Bm]4/7 Sylvia [Em]Plath
[G]Writing in blood on the [A]walls
'Cause the ink in my [Bm]pen don't work in my [Em]notepad
Don't a[G]sk if I'm happy, you [A]know that I'm not
But at [Bm]best I can say I'm not [Em]sad
'Cause [G]hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have
[G]Hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have

[VERSE 2]
I had [G]fifteen-year dances
Church [Bm]basement romances, yeah [A]I've got
[G]Spilling my guts with the [Bm]Bowery Bums
Is the [A]only love I've ever [Em]known
[G]Except for the stage, which I [Bm]also call home, when [A]I'm not
[G]Servin' up God in a burnt [Bm]coffee pot for the [A]triad [Em]
[G]Hello, it's the most famous [Bm]woman you know on the [A]iPad
[G]Calling from beyond the grave, I [Bm]just wanna say "[A]Hi, Dad"

[CHORUS]
I've been [G]tearing around in my fucking [A]nightgown
Like a [Bm]goddamn nea[Em]r sociopath
[G]Writing in blood on the [A]walls
'Cause the ink in my [Bm]pen don't work in my [Em]notepad
Don't a[G]sk if I'm happy, you [A]know that I'm not
But at [Bm]best I can say I'm not [Em]sad
'Cause [G]hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have
[G]Hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have

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

[CHORUS]
I've been [G]tearing around in my fucking [A]nightgown
2[Bm]4/7 Sylvia [Em]Plath
[G]Writing in blood on the [A]walls
'Cause the ink in my [Bm]pen don't work in my [Em]notepad
Don't a[G]sk if I'm happy, you [A]know that I'm not
But at [Bm]best I can say I'm not [Em]sad
'Cause [G]hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have
[G]Hope is a dangerous [Bm]thing for a woman like m[A]e to have

[OUTRO]
[G]Hope is a dangerous [A]thing for a woman like [Bm]me to have
But [G]I have it
Yeah, I [A]have it
Yeah, I [Em]have it
I [A]have
