[Verse 1]
Am         Em                D          Em
You bring good to my lonely life, honestly
Am                   D              Em
It’s hard for me to look into your eyes
   Em      Am              Em            D          Em
When, I say that I would be nothing without your love

I feel the rush and it’s ama--zing
[Pre-Chorus]
F                               G      Am
Maybe I’ve been always destined to end up in this place, yeah
F                                 G      Am
I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all
F                              G         Am
Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way
         Dm                      Em
Cause I know, all I know, all I know
[Chorus]
        Am        Em     D     Em
I’m a prisoner to my addiction
       Am          Em              D           Em
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold
        Am        Em    D     Em
I’m a prisoner to my decisions
     Am    Em    D    Em
Woooo, woooo, woooo
[Verse 2 - Lana Del Rey]
Am            Em          D             Em
I think I've been in Hollywood for too long
Am           Em                 D                 Em
Cause I can feel my soul burning, feel it burning slow
Am          Em           D          Em
But I would be nothing without the touch
Am          Em             D    Em
I feel the rush and it's ama--zing, mmmm
[Pre-Chorus]
F                               G      Am
Maybe I’ve been always destined to end up in this place, yeah

I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all

Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way
         Dm                      Em
Cause I know, all I know, all I know
[Chorus]
        Am        Em     D     Em
I’m a prisoner to my addiction
       Am          Em              D           Em
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold

I’m a prisoner to my addiction
       Am          Em              D           Em

I’m a prisoner to my decisions
     Am    Em    D    Em
Woooo, woooo, woooo
[Outro]
I don't know
I get so wrapped up in a world where nothing's as it seems
And real life is stranger than my dreams
