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 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 (nc) 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 This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
