Lana Del Rey – La Who Am I To Love You (Guitar)

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?

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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
