[Verse 1]
Bm Quick, quick D Tell me something awful like you are a poet G Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Tell me all your secrets
All you’ll ever be is
Bm My eternal consolation prize D You see I was a debutant in another life, but G Now I seem to be scared 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 G I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D Bm I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here A G I hate it here
[Verse 2]
Bm My friends used to play a game where D We would pick a decade G We wished we could live in instead of this
I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
Bm And getting married off for the highest bid D Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now G Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind’s trick
If I’d been there, 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 G The night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D Bm I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here A G I hate it here
[Bridge]
A
I’m lonely, but I’m goodI’m bitter, but I swear I’m fine
G Em Bm 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 Bm G D Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it G N.C. 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 G I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D Bm I’m there most of the 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 Bm A G D Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
