Lana Del Rey - Violets For Roses

Capo: 3rd fret

[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
