Mitski – In A Lake Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are In A Lake chords by Mitski for Piano and Ukulele.

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A                    E
I'd never live in a small town
F#m                   D
I've made too many mistakes
          E              
For where you gotta write 
           A
your book early
      Bm               
Or it gets written up in 
        C#7
your place
          A              
Where you never get away 
          E
from your first love
          F#m         
It's like one brand of
                D
 soap's sold in town
       E             
'Cause anyone you can 
      A
get close to
   D             E     
Smells like your first 
      A
time around

[Chorus]
A                      
 But in a lake, you can 
               D
backstroke forever
     E     A       
The sky before you,
      F#m         E
 the dark right behind
A                  
 And in a big city, 
               D   E A E A
you can start over


[Verse 2]
    A                     
And everywhere you go makes
       E
 your heart ache
       F#m                       D
When you've done enough walks of shame
E                          A
Some days, you just go the long way
     Bm                C#7
To stay off of memory lane
   A                    E
So I'd never live in a small town
   F#m                     D
I'm slow to learn all the rules
       E                   A
I've tried very hard to be good
              D               
But when they think you're bad, 
  E         A
people act worse

[Chorus]
A                       
 But in a lake, you can
    D
 backstroke forever
      G                
The sky before you and 
     D
the dark behind you
   A     E          F#m   
And in a big city, you can 
       D
start over
    E           A        
The lights all around you,
      F#m              E
 the dark safe in the sight
A                      
 In a big city, you can 
       D    E A E A
start over
