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
