[Verse 1]
D
You took my sadness out of context
Am
At the Mariners apartment complex
G D
I ain't no candle in the wind
D
I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder
Am
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
G D
Who you are and who you've been
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
And who I've been is with you on these beaches
Am
Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness
G D
Maybe I could save you from your sins
D
So, kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus
Am
My, my, my, you found this, you need this
G D
Take a deep breath, baby, let me in
[Chorus 1]

You lose your way, just take my hand

You're lost at sea then I'll command your boat to me again
Am G D
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
Am G D
I'm your man
Am G D
I'm your man
[Verse 2]

They mistook my kindness for weakness
Am
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus
G D
Can't a girl just do the best she can?
D
Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
Am
Think about it, the darkness, the deepness
G D
All the things that make me who I am
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
And who I am is a big time believer
Am
That people can change, but you don't have to leave her
G D
When everyone's talking, you can make a stand
D
'Cause even in the dark I feel your resistance
Am
You can see my heart burning in the distance
G D
Baby, baby, baby, I'm your man, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Am G D
You lose your way, just take my hand
Am G D
You' re lost at sea then I'll command your boat to me again

I'll throw a party, all night long
[Verse 2]

You don't ever have to

Be stronger than you really are

When you're lying in my arms
Am F
And honey, you don't ever have to
C
Act cooler than you think you should
G
You're brighter than the brightest stars
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
You're scared to win, scared to lose

I've heard the war was over if you really choose
G
The one in and around you
Am
You hate the heat, you got the blues
F C
You're changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you
G
The same wind that moves you (two, three, four)
[Chorus 2]
Am G
Ohh-oh, I'll pick you up
F G
If you come back to America, just hit me up
Am G
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flipside
F G
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up
[Post-Chorus 2]
Am
We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever, have fun
G
We'll hit up all the old places
F G
We'll have a party, we'll dance till dawn
Am
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
G
Your favorite liquor off the top-shelf
F G
I'll throw a party, all night long
[Outro]
Am G
Ohh-oh, I'll pick you up
F G
If you come back to America, just hit me up
Am G
'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flipside
F G
If you come back to California, you should just hit me up

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 1]
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

I had fifteen-year dances, church basement romances, yeah I've cried

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, Dad"
[Chorus 2]
C D Em C
I've been tearing up town in my fucking white gown like a goddamn near sociopath
C D Em C
Shaking my ass is the only thing that's got this black narcissist off my back
C D G D/F# C
She couldn't care less and I never cared more so there's no more to say about that
C G D/F#
Except hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
C G D/F#
Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past
[Verse 3]
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 3]
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 your walls 'cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad
C D G D/F# C
They write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not but at best, you can see I'm not sad

Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have
