Who you are and who you've been
Pre-Chorus 1

And who I've been is with you on these beaches

Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness

They mistook my kindness for weakness
[Am]
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus

Can't a girl just do the best she can?

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

'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

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#] [C]
Yeah, I have it, I have
