Chords for Lana Del Rey - Ride (Extended Version) (Audio)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [C] _ I was in the winter [F] of my life, [C] _ and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
[Am] _ At night I fell [F] asleep with visions of [C] myself dancing and laughing and crying with them.
_ Three years down the line of being on an endless road [F] to work,
[C] and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy [Am] times. _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ I was a singer, not a very popular one.
[Am] I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet,
but upon [F] an unfortunate series of events,
saw those dreams dashed and divided like [G] a million stars in the night sky,
that I wished on over and over [F] again, sparkling [Am] and broken.
_ [G] _
[Dm] But I didn't really mind, because I knew [Em] that
it [F] takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it, [Am] to know what true [G] freedom is. _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ When the people [A] I used to know found [G] out what I had been [Dm] doing,
how I had been living, they asked me why,
[F] but there's no use in talking to people who have a home.
[Am] They have [G] no idea what it's [Dm] like to seek safety in other people,
[Em] for home to be [F] wherever you lie your head.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] I was always an [C] unusual girl.
My _ _ _ _
[Am] mother told me I had a [F] chameleon soul.
[C] No moral compass pointing due north.
No fixed personality. _ _
Just an inner [F] indecisiveness [C] that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.
_ _ [Am] _ _ And if [F] I said I didn't plan [C] for it to turn out this way, I'd be lying. _ _
_ _ [F] Because I was born to be the other woman, _
_ [Am] who belonged to no one,
who belonged to everyone,
_ [F] who had nothing,
who wanted everything.
_ [G] _ With a fire for every experience,
and an obsession [F] for freedom,
[Am] that terrified me [G] to the point that I couldn't [Dm] even talk about it,
and [Em] pushed me to a nomadic [F] point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.
_ _ _ [G] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ I've been out on [F] that [C] open road. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] You can be my full time [F] daddy while [C] you go. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Singing blues [F] has been [C] getting old.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] You can be my full time [F] baby, [C] I'll go. _ _ _
_ Don't break [F] me down. _ _ _
_ I've been traveling [Am] too long. _
_ I've been trying [F] to _ hide.
With one pretty [G] song. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] I [Am] hear the birds [G] on the summer [Dm] breeze.
I drive fast.
I [Em] am alone at [F] midnight.
_ _ _ I'm [Am] trying hard [G] not to get into [Dm] trouble.
But I, I [Em] got a war in [F] my mind.
So I just cry. _ _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ Just [Em] cry.
[F] _ _ _ Just [Am] cry. _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ Just cry.
[Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ Dying young [F] and playing [C] hard. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] That's the way my father [F] made his life [C] on hard. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Drink all day [F] and we talk [C] till dark.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] That's the way the road dogs [F] do it, lie [C] till dark. _ _
_ Don't leave [F] me now. _ _
_ Don't say [Am] goodbye. _ _
_ Don't turn [F] around.
Don't leave me now.
_ Leave me high [G] and dry. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] I [Am] hear the birds [G] on the summer [Dm] breeze.
I drive fast.
I [Em] am alone at [F] midnight.
_ _ I'm [Am] trying hard [G] not to get into [Dm] trouble.
But I, I [Em] got a war in [F] my mind.

[G] _ _ [Dm] _ Just [Em] cry. _
[F] _ _ _ _ Just cry. _
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ Just cry.
[Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ I'm [Am] kind of feeling [G] like I'm fucking [Dm] sweet.
I'm [Em] kind of driving [F] fancy.
I'm starting to think [Am] I've got to [G] be myself.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ I hear the birds [G] on the summer [Dm] breeze.
I drive fast.
I [Em] am alone at [F] midnight.
_ _ I'm [Am] trying hard [G] not to get [Dm] into trouble.

[G] _ _ [D] _ Just [Em] cry. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [F] Every night I used to pray that I'd find my [Am] people.
_ [G] And [Dm] finally, I did.
_ [Em] On the open road.
[F] _ _ _ _
We had [Am] nothing to lose.
[G] Nothing to gain.
[Dm] Nothing we desired anymore.
[Em] _ [F] Except to make our lives into a work of art.
[Am] Live fast.
[G] _ [Dm] Die young.
_ [Em] Be wild.
[F] _ And have fun.
_ [Am] I believe in the country America used [Dm] to be.
I believe in the [Em] person I want to [F] become.
I believe in the freedom of the open road.
[A] _ [G] And my motto is [Dm] the same as ever.
_ [Em] I believe in the kindness [F] of strangers.
And when I'm at war [Am] with myself, _ [G] I [Dm] ride. _
I just [Em] ride.
_ [F] _ _ _
Who are you?
[A] Are you in touch [G] with all of your darkest [Dm] fantasies? _
Have you [Em] created a life for [F] yourself where you can experience them?
_ [Am] I have.
_ [G] I am [Dm] fucking crazy.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
But I am free.
