Tone: [Bm]
Capo: No Capo
[Bm]Quick, quick
Tell me something [G]awful
Like you are a [D]poet
Trapped inside the [D]body of a finance guy
[Bm]Tell me all your [G]secrets
All you'll ever [D]be is
My eternal consolation [Bm]prize
You see I was a [G]debutant
In another [D]life, but
Now I seem to be scared to go [Bm]outside
If [D]comfort is a construct
I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what
I [D]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
I [A]read about it in a
book when I was a precocious [G]child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[D]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here[Bm]
I hate it here[A] [G]
[Bm]My friends used to play a [G]game where
We would pick a [D]decade
We wished we could live in instead of [Bm]this
I'd say the 18[G]30s but without all the [D]racists
and getting married off for the highest [Bm]bid
Everyone would [G]look down
'Cause it wasn't [D]fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back [Bm]then
Nostalgia is a [G]mind's trick
If I'd been there, I'd [D]hate it
It was freezing in the palace
I [D]hate it here so I will go to
Lunar valleys in my mind
[Bm]When they found a better planet
Only the gentle survived
I [A]dreamed about it in the dark
The night I felt like I might [G]die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[D]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here[Bm]
I hate it here[A] [G]
I'm [A]lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
I'll [G]save all my romanticism for my
inner life and I'll get [Em]lost on [Bm]purpose
This place made [G]me feel [D]worthless
[Em]Lucid dreams like electrici[Bm]ty, the current flies
through me and [G]in my fantasies I rise above it
And [G]way up there, I actually love it
I [D]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
I [A]read about it in a book
when I was a precocious [G]child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[D]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here[Bm]
I hate it here[A] [G]
[G]Quick, quick
Tell me something awful
