Verse 1

[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

[C] [G] [D/F#]

'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

[Am] [G] [D]

[Am] [G] [D]

Verse 2

[Am] [G] [D]

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

[Am] [G] [D]

Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums is the only love I've ever known

[Am] [G] [D]

Except for the stage which I also call home when I'm 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, 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

[C] [G] [D/F#]

But 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

Outro

[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
