Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have Uke tab by Lana Del Rey

Am                   G
I was reading Slim Aarons and I 
                     D
got to thinking that I thought
 
  Am                   G                           
Maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like 

All of these debutantes

   Am                        G
Smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on

  D
white yachts 

     Am       G       D
But I'm not, baby, I'm not 

 Am     G            D
No, I'm not, that, I'm not



             C                    D
I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown

 Em           C 
24/7 Sylvia Plath 

 C                        D
Writing in blood on the walls 

                     Em                     C
'Cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad 

      C                      D
Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not 

        Em                    C
But at best I can say I'm not sad 

         Am                  G                   D
'Cause hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to 

have 

 Am                   G                    D
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have



                
         Am
I had fifteen-year dances 

        G                        D
Church basement romances, yeah, I've cried 

 Am                         G
Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums 

        D
Is the only love I've ever known 

  Am                           G                    D
Except for the stage, which I also call home, when I'm n

not 

 Am                  G                         D
Servin' up God in a burnt coffee pot for the triad 

   Am                        G                     D
Hello, it's the most famous woman you know on the iPad 

  Am                      G                       D
Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say, "Hi, D

Dad"



  
             C                    D
I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown

         Em              C 
Like a goddamn near sociopath

 C                      D
Shaking my ass is the only thing that's

           Em                     C
Got this black narcissist off my back

      C                       D
She couldn't care less, and I never cared more

           Em                    C
So there's no more to say about that

        Am                  G                     D
Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to 

have 

 Am                   G                    D
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



             C                    D
I've been tearing around in my fucking nightgown

 Em           C 
24/7 Sylvia Plath 

 C                        D
Writing in blood on your walls 

                     Em                        C
'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad 

      C                          D
They write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not 

        Em                    C
But at best you can see I'm not sad 

     Am                  G                     D
But hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to 

have 

 Am                   G                    D
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have





 C                    G                    D
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
 
    C   G  D
But I have it 

 C    G      D
Yeah, I have it 

 C     G     D
Yeah, I have it 

  C
I have
