[IHIH Verse]
G
Quick, quick, tell me something awful

               D                                           G
Like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a finance guy

                                          D                                G
Tell me all your secrets, all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation prize

                                      D
You see, I was a debutante in another life, but

                                  G                                                  D
Now I seem to be scared to go outside. If comfort is a construct, I don't believe in good luck

                A
Now that I know what's what
[IHIH Chorus]
  D
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind

G
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine

A
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

G
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

D                                                G
I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here...

               A     G
I hate it here
[Clean Verse]
C         G                    Am      F
 The drought was the very worst (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

C           G              Am                F
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

C             G                            Am     F
It was months and months of back and forth (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

C                 G
You're still all over me

        Am                        F
Like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
[Clean Pre-Chorus]
 C                  G
Hung my head as I lost the war

         Am                       F
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
[Clean Chorus]
C           G
Rain came pouring down

 Am                      F                             C
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

       G
And by morning

 Am                         F
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

C   G    Am    F
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Clean Verse]
C              G              Am    F
There was nothing left to do (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

C           G
When the butterflies turned to

Am                  F
Dust that covered my whole room

C            G                 Am      F
So I punched a hole in the roof (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

C              G         Am         F
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
[IHIH Bridge]
     A
 I’m lonely, but I’m good
I’m bitter, but I swear I’m fine
      G                                                      Em      D
 I’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I’ll get lost on purpose

                 G       D
 This place made me feel worthless

 Em                         D                                    G
 Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I

       D
 rise above it

     G      N.C.
 And way up there, I actually love it
[Clean Bridge]
C                G
Ten months sober, I must admit

Am                                   F
Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it

C                  G
Ten months older, I won't give in

Am                           F
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
[Breakdown]
C           G               Am        F
The drought was the very worst (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

C            G              Am                F
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
[IHIH Chorus]
   D
 I hate it here so I will go to Lunar valleys in my mind

 G
 When they found a better planet Only the gentle survived

   A
 I dreamed about it in the dark

                               G
 The night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
 D                                              G
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here

                A  G
 I hate it here
[Chorus]
C           G
Rain came pouring down

 Am                      F                             C
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

       G
And by morning

 Am                         F
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[IHIH - Clean Outro]
C  G  Am  F
            Think I'm finally clean

C  G                Am  F                  C
     I hate it here,     think I'm finally clean
