G

[Verse]
Bm
Quick, quick
Tell me something
awful
               D
like you are a poet
Trapped inside the body
            G
of a finance guy
Tell me all your
secrets
All you’ll ever be is
My eternal consolation
     Bm
prize
You see I was a
debutant in
       D
another life, but
Now I seem to be scared
         G
to go outside
If comfort is a
construct,
I don’t believe
in good luck
Now that I know
what’s what

[Chorus]
  D
I hate it here so
I will go to secret
gardens in my mind
Bm
People need a key
to get to,
the only one is mine
  A
I read about it in
a book when I was a
           G
precocious child
No mid-sized
city hopes and
small-town fears
D
I’m there most
of the year ’cause
            Bm
I hate it here
               A  Bm
I hate it here

[Verse]
D           F#m
 Is it romantic
how all
my elegies
eulogize me?
D            F#m
 I'm not cut out
for all
      Em
these cynicalclones
Bm
These hunters with
cell phones

[Chorus]
F#m
  Take me to the
Lakes where all
G
the poets went
to die
              Bm
I don't belong  and,
my beloved,
           A/C#
neither do you
F#m
  Those Windermere
peaks look like
G
a perfect place
to cry
                A
I'm setting off, but
not without my muse
G Em Bm Bm

[Bridge]
    A
I’m lonely, but I’m
good
I’m bitter, but
I swear
I’m fine
     G
I’ll save all my
romanticism for my
inner life and
I’ll get
Em      Bm
lost on purpose
This place made
G
me feel
D
worthless
Em
Lucid dreams like
electricity,
the current
flies through me and
G
in my fantasies
        D
I rise above it
    G
And way up there, I
actually love it
D           F#m
 A red rose grew up
out
   Em
of ice frozen ground
     Bm
With no one around
to
tweet it
D
 While I bathe in
F#m
cliffside pools
          Em
With my calamitous
love and
     Bm
insurmountable grief

[Chorus]
F#m
  Take me to the
Lakes where all
G
the poets went
to die
              Bm
I don't belong  and,
my beloved,
           A/C#
neither do you
F#m
  Those Windermere
peaks look like
G
a perfect place
to cry
I'm setting
    A
off, but not
without my muse
  D
I hate it here
so I will
go to secret
gardens in my mind
Bm
People need a
key to get to,
the only one is
mine
  A
I read about it
in a
book when I was a
           G
precocious child
No mid-sized city
hopes and
small-town fears
  D
I hate it here
so I will go to
Lunar valleys
in my mind
Bm
When they found
a better
planet Only the
gentle survived
  A
I dreamed about it
in the dark
The night I felt
like
        G
I might die
No mid-sized
city hopes and
small-town fears
D
I’m there most of
the year ’cause
            Bm
I hate it here

[Outro]
So take me to
the Lakes
               A
I hate it here
So take me to the
Lakes
               F#m
Take me to the Lakes
where all
G
the poets went to die
              Bm
I don't belong  and,
my beloved,
           A/C#
neither do you
F#m
  Those Windermere
peaks--
         G
Look like a perfect
place to cry
So I'm setting
    A
off, but not
           Em
without my muse
                D
No, not without you
