Chords
From Lana's most recent album Blue Banisters, out Friday October 22nd.
Chord timings can be somewhat tricky, especially at the end of the pre-chorus and the
"A simple life, I chose this" line in the chorus.
[Verse 1]
G There's something in the air Am G The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses Em Bm C With their masks off and it makes me so happy G C G Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley Bm D And the bookstore doors are opening C D And it's finally happening
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Am D G Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with me Am D And, boy, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C Am D G Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the city Am7 Like thе Paramount sign sparkling B7 Em Em D Sparkling just for me
[Chorus]
G Am Em You made me tradе my violets for roses G B7 C G You tried to trade in my new truck for horses C Bm Am Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate C D Em A simple life, I chose this G Am Em You made me trade my violets for roses G B7 C You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and G C Bm Am God knows the only mistake that a man can make B7 C Is tryna make a woman change and trade her violets for roses [Post-Chorus 1] G D Ah-la-ha, ah-ha B7 C Trade her violets for roses G D Ah-la-ha, ah-ha
[Verse 2]
G There's something in the air Am G I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real Em Bm C The beginning of something big happening G And by the murder alleys C G In the streets have ceased Bm D And still the shadows haunt the avenue C D The silence is deafening
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Am D G Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the streets Am D And, God, does it feel sweet
Like a summer breeze
C Am D G Ever since I fell out of love with you I breakdance to the backbeat Am7 And, God, does it sound sweet B7 Em Em D Like it's playing just for me
[Chorus]
G Am Em You made me trade my violets for roses G B7 C G You tried to trade in my new truck for horses C Bm Am Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate C D Em A simple life, I chose this G Am Em You made me trade my violets for roses G B7 C You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and G C Bm Am God knows the only mistake that a man can make B7 C Is tryin' to make a woman change and trade her violets for roses [Post-Chorus 2] G D Ah-la-ha, ah-ha B7 C Trade her violets for roses G D Ah-la-ha, ah-ha B7 C Trade her violets for roses G D (Ah-la-ha, ah-ha)
[Outro]
G There's something in the air Am Em G The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses Em B C With their masks off and it makes me so happy
