CHORDS: Taylor Swift – I Hate It Here Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are I Hate It Here chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
 Bm
 Quick, quick
                   G    
 Tell me something awful
                D
 like you are a poet
                    D
 Trapped inside the body
 of a finance guy
Bm                G
 Tell me all your secrets
                    D
 All you’ll ever be is
                       Bm
 My eternal consolation prize
                 G       
 You see I was a debutant 
            D
in another life, but
 Now I seem to be scared
          Bm
 to go outside
   D
 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 
                        Bm
year ’cause I hate it here
                A  G
 I hate it here

[Verse 2]
 Bm                
 My friends used to 
        G
play a game where
                 D
 We would pick a decade
 We wished we could live 
               Bm
in instead of this
               G  
 I’d say the 1830s 
                     D
but without all the racists
 And getting married
                    Bm
 off for the highest bid
                G   
 Everyone would look 
                       D
down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
 Seems like it was 
                     Bm
never even fun back then
               G
 Nostalgia is a mind’s
 trick
 If I’d been there,
     D
 I’d hate it

 It was freezing in
 the palace

[Chorus]
   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
                    Bm
 ’cause I hate it here
                A  G
 I hate it here

[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
          Em      Bm
 I’ll get lost on purpose
                 G 
 This place made me
      D
 feel worthless
 Em                         Bm 
 Lucid dreams like electricity,
                             
 the current flies through me 
     G             
and in my fantasies 
          D
I rise above it
     G     
 And way up there, 
I actually love it

[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
                          Bm
 year ’cause I hate it here
                A  G
 I hate it here

[Outro]
 Quick, quick, tell 
me something awful
                D
 Like you are a poet
 Trapped inside the 
               Bm     
body of a finance guy
 G  A  G  D
