Guitar chords with lyrics


Song: Ivy
Album: Blonde
Artist: Frank Ocean

I'm not 100% on these chords, but this just how I play it.
Lyrics from genius.com
Listening to the song while playing, as always, would probably be super helpful!

I usually pick the root note with my thumb
and use my other fingers to pluck the rest of the chord.

Chorus:
Cmaj7         Dm
 I thought that I was dreaming
          Am     Dm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
          Am   Dm
 I couldn't see you coming
         Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
     Dm      Am
 I could hate you now
            Dm
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Cmaj7          Dm
 When we both know that deep down
          Am        Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Verse 1:
Cmaj7/G         Bbmaj7/F
 If I could see through walls I could see you're faking
Cmaj7/G       Bbmaj7/F
 If you could see my thoughts you would see our faces
Cmaj7/G      Bbmaj7/F          Dm
 Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
         Cmaj7
 We didn't give a fuck back then
      Em
 I ain't a kid no more
Dm          Em
 We'll never be those kids again
        Cmaj7      Dm
 We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then
Cmaj7/G    Bbmaj7/F
 Back then
         Cmaj7/G
 No matter what I did
          Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G
 My waves wouldn't dip back then
      Bbmaj7/F
 Everything sucked back then
     Dm
 We were friends


Chorus:
           Cmaj7
 I thought that I was dreaming
          Cmaj7/A   Dm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
          Cmaj7  Dm
 I couldn't see you coming
         Cmaj7/G
 It started from nothing
     Bbmaj7/F
 I could hate you now
Cmaj7/G        Bbmaj7/F
 It's quite alright to hate me now
Em/B          C
 But we both know that deep down
   Em/B     Am        Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


 Verse 2:
Cmaj7/G Bbmaj7/F
 In the halls of your hotel
Cmaj7/G    Bbmaj7/F
 Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
Em/B           C      Em/B    Dm
 How much I meant to you...meant it sincere back then
        Em
 We had time to kill back then
       Cmaj7    Dm
 You ain't a kid no more
           Am     Dm
 We'll never be those kids again
       Cmaj7     Dm
 It's not the same, ivory's illegal
         Am  Dm
 Don't you remember?
       Cmaj7/G
 I broke your heart last week
     Bbmaj7/F          Cmaj7/G
 You'll probably feel better by the weekend
    Bbmaj7/F
 Still remember, had you going crazy
 Cmaj7/G
 Scream my name
   Bbmaj7/F       Em
 The feeling deep down is good


Chorus:
Cmaj7         Dm
 I thought that I was dreaming
          Am    Dm
 When you said you loved me
         Cmaj7
 It started from nothing
          Dm
 I had no chance to prepare
         Am   Dm
 Couldn't see you coming
           Cmaj7/G
 And we started from nothing
    Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G
 I could hate you now
         Bbmaj7/F
 It's alright to hate me now
Cmaj7       Dm
 We both know that deep down
          Am        Dm
 The feeling still deep down is good


Outro:

Cmaj7/G         Bbmaj7/F
 All the things I didn't mean to say
     Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 I didn't mean to do
Cmaj7             Am
 There were things you didn't need to say
    Cmaj7   Dm
 Didn't need to...need to
     Cmaj7/G
 I could dream all night,
 Bbmaj7/F    Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 Dream all night
     Cmaj7/G
 I could drive all night
 Bbmaj7/F     Cmaj7/G  Bbmaj7/F
 Drive all night
 Cmaj7/G
