Petal Chords & Tabs

by Ariana Grande

[Intro]
Em F#

[Verse 1]
                     Em           F#  
Tryna feel something real to cry again
                          Em              F#  
They say the artist needs tears to write again

[Pre-Chorus]
                          Em                            F#m      
'Cause all of my favorite stories end in some kind of catastrophe
                            Em     
But I don’t need someone to save me
                             F#m      
'Cause this music and I will never die

[Chorus]
                       Em   
It's such a fucked situation
             F#      
Petal in the pavement
                          Em              
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
                              F#m     
Heartbreak won’t bite here in paradise
                     Em     
Such a convenient conflation
                 F#m   
This record in rotation
                      Em               
Long as she gets the ovation each night
                               F#      
Heartbreak won't bitе, this is paradise

[Post-Chorus]
N.C.                Em                F#m
I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
           Em                F#m             
Thеy say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)

[Verse 2]
                 Em                                    
Tell me who's to blame, is it the people or myself? Yep
         F#m                                
But this time really feels so very different
This is not a cry for help
         Em                                      
A couple million for my thoughts, I've got plenty
         F#m           
But I am not the victim
Bitch, I'm practically drowning in my blessings
N.C. Em
It's bye,   this time for real
                          F#m                               
Tired of painting endless pictures of a life that isn't mine
                 Em              
Trying different boys on for size
                          F#m              
If this is my curse, I’ll let it ride, ride

[Pre-Chorus]
                          Em                            F#       
'Cause all of my favorite stories end in some kind of catastrophe
                            Em     
But I don’t need someone to save me
                             F#m      
'Cause this music and I will never die

[Chorus]
                       Em   
It's such a fucked situation
             F#      
Petal in the pavement
                          Em              
Just as long as she keeps getting it right
                              F#      
Heartbreak won’t bite here in paradise
                     Em     
Such a convenient conflation
                 F#    
This record in rotation
                      Em

                               F#m     
Heartbreak won't bitе, this is paradise

[Post-Chorus]
                      Em                F#m                 
I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
           Em                F#m             
Thеy say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)
                      Em                F#m                 
I hear them all say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm, mm)
           Em                F#m             
Thеy say, "Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh" (Mm-mm)
