Lana Del Rey - Text Book: chords

Dm                         C
I guess you could call it text book
      Gm
I was looking for the father
         Dm
I wanted back
Dm                            C
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
          Gm
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily
     A7
had my back

Dm                        F
And then there was the issue of her
               C
I didn't even like myself,
                   Gm
or love the life I had
                         Dm
And there you were with shinin' stars
                    F
Standin' clear with open arms
                 C
You touched the detriment,
                                   Gm
most of the friends I knew already had

Chorus:
A#                          F
   You've got a Thunderbird,
   my daddy had one too
C                         Dm
   Let's rewrite his story,
   I'll do this dance with you
A#
   You know I'm not that girl
F
   You know I'll never be
C                           Dm
   Maybe just the way we're different
   could set me free
A#
   And there we were, screamin'
                 F
   "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd
                    C
    by the Old Man River
                           Dm
   And I saw you saw who I am
A#                           F
   God, I wish I was with my father,
                                 C
   he could see us in all our splendor
                                      Dm
   All the things I couldn't want for him
                   A#      F
   I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh
                      C    Dm
   And screamed for them, ah

Could we do this dance again?
Do you think if I go blonde,
we could get our old love back?
I guess this is really the end
I never felt jealous before this year,
but I'm jealous now
People say we're too much alike
But maybe, finally, that'll make it right
In the end of all these sleepless nights
Other men I met felt right
Would smile at you and stick a knife
In your back
Finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why

Chorus

                    A#      F
Old Man River keeps rollin'
                 C
With or without him
Dm               A#
   Old Man River keeps rollin'
F                            C
  Without him, oh my old man
Dm                   A# F      C
Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
