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
