La Who Am I To Love You chords by Lana Del Rey

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: G

Verse 1:

G
I left my city for San Francisco
G
Took a free ride off of a billionaires jet
G
LA, I'm from nowhere, who am I to love you?
G
LA, I've got nothing, who am I to love you
G
When I'm feeling this way and I've got nothing to offer?

G   C
LA, not quite the city that never sleeps
C                              G
Not quite the city that wakes, but the city that dreams, for sure
                          Eb
If by dreams, you mean in nightmares

G
LA, I'm a dreamer, but I'm from nowhere, who am I to dream?
G                                 B
LA, I'm upset, I have complaints, listen to me
B
They say I came from money and I didn't
C
And I didn't even have love, and it's unfair

C                                         G
LA, I sold my life rights for a big check and I'm upset
G
And now I can't sleep at night and I don't know why
Eb                                G
Plus, I love Zach, so why did I do that when I know it won't last?

Verse 2:

G                B/D#
LA, I picked San Francisco because the man who doesn't love me lives there
C
LA, I'm pathetic, but so are you, can I come home now?
Eb                  B
Daughter to no one, table for one
B                                              Eb
Party of thousands of people I don't know at Delilah where my ex-husband works

Eb
I'm sick of this, but can I come home now?
G
Mother to no one, private jet for one
B
Back home to the Tudor house that borned a thousand murder plots

G                            B
Hancock Park, it's treated me very badly, I'm resentful
Gmaj7
The witch on the corner, the neighbor nobody wanted
G
The reason for Garcetti's extra security

Verse 3:

C                                              Gmaj7
LA, I know I'm bad, but I have nowhere else to go, can I come home now?
Gmaj7                 B                                            G
I never had a mother, will you let me make the sun my own for now, and the ocean my son?
C
I'm quite good at tending to things despite my upbringing
G                Em
Can I raise your mountains? I promise to keep them greener
Em
Make them my daughters
C                      G
Teach them about fire, warn them about water
Em
I'm lonely, LA, can I come home now?

Verse 4:

G                  Em
I left my city for San Francisco
C
And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge
B
But it's not going as I planned
Gmaj7
I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter
Em
And promised myself that I would stay, but
C
It's just not going the way that I thought
Eb
It's not that I feel different, and I don't mind that it's not hot
C
It's just that I belong to no one, which means there's only one place for me
Em
The city not quite awake, the city not quite asleep
G
The city that's still deciding how good it can be

Verse 5:

Eb
And also I can't sleep without you
G
No one's ever really held me like you
Em
Not quite tightly, but certainly, I feel your body next to me
B
Smoking next to me
C
Vaping lightly next to me
Gmaj7
And I love that you love the neon lights like me
Gmaj7
Orange in the distance
Em
We both love that
C
And I love that we have that in common
Eb
Also, neither one of us can go back to New York
Gmaj7
For you are unmoving
Em
As for me, it won't be my city again until I'm dead
C
Fuck the New York Post

Verse 6:

C
LA, who am I to need you when I've needed so much, asked for so much?
G
And what I've been given, I'm not sure yet
Eb
I may never know that either until I'm dead
Em
For now, though, what I do know
Gmaj7
Is although I don't deserve you
B/D#
Not you at your best and your splendor
B
With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion
G
Not you at your worst
C
Totally on fire, unlivable, unbreathable, I need you

Verse 7:

C
You see, I have no mother
G
And you do
Eb
A continental shelf
Em
A larger piece of land from where you came
Gmaj7
And I? I'm an orphan
B
A little seashell that rests upon your native shores
Em
One of many, for sure
G
But because of that, I surely must love you closely to the most of anyone

Bridge:

G
For that reason, let me love you
Eb
Don't mind my desperation
B
Let me hold you, not just for vacation
Em
But for real and for forever
C
Make it real life
Gmaj7
Let me be a real wife to you
G
Girlfriend, lover, mother, friend
Em
I adore you
Eb
Don't be put off by my quick-wordedness
G
I'm generally quite quiet
C
Quite a meditator, actually
Gmaj7
I'll do very well down by Paramhansa Yogananda's realization center, I'm sure
Em
I promise you'll barely even notice me
B
Unless you want to notice me
Eb
Unless you prefer a rambunctious child
G
In which case, I can turn it on too
C
I'm quite good on the stage as you may know
Gmaj7
You might have heard of me

Outro:

G
So either way, I'll fit in just fine
C
So just love me by doing nothing
Em
And perhaps, by not shaking the county line
Eb
I'm yours if you'll have me
C
But regardless, you're mine
