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  Bm
I hate it here
[Verse]
D           F#m         Em         Bm
 Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?

D            F#m               Em
 I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones

Bm
These hunters with cell phones
[Chorus]
F#m                              G
  Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die

              Bm                            A/C#
I don't belong  and, my beloved, neither do you

F#m                                G
  Those Windermere peaks look like 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                                                      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

D           F#m            Em
 A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground

     Bm
With no one around to tweet it

D                 F#m
 While I bathe in cliffside pools

          Em                     Bm
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
[Chorus]
F#m                              G
  Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die

              Bm                            A/C#
I don't belong  and, my beloved, neither do you

F#m                                G
  Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry

                A
I'm setting 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                                               G
I read about it in a book when I was a 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

                              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
[Outro] So take me to the Lakes
               A
I hate it here
So take me to the Lakes
               F#m             G
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die

              Bm                            A/C#
I don't belong  and, my beloved, neither do you

F#m
  Those Windermere peaks--

         G
Look like a perfect place to cry

                   A                   Em
So I'm setting off, but not without my muse

                D
No, not without you
