(Intro)
[D] [E] [C#] [G] [D] [F#] [D] [E] [F#] [C#] [G] [D] [F#]
(Verse 1)
[D] Is it ro[F#m]mantic how all m[Em]y elegies eulo[Bm]gize me?
[D] I'm not cut [F#m]out for all these c[Em]cynical clones
These [Bm]hunters with cell phones
(Chorus)
[F#m] Take me to the lakes, where all the [G]poets went to die
I don't be[Bm]belong and, my beloved, neither do [A/C#]you
[F#m] Those Windermere peaks look like [G]a perfect place to cry
I'm setting [A]off, but not without my muse
[C#] [E] [F#] [A] [B] [C#] [D]
(Verse 2)
[D] What should be over burr[F#m]burrowed under my skin
In [Em]heart-stopping waves [Bm]of hurt
[D] I've come too far to watc[F#m]watch some namedropping[Em]namedropping sleaze
Tell me[Bm]me what are my words worth
(Chorus)
[F#m] Take me to the lakes, where all the [G]poets went to die
I don't bel[Bm]belong and, my beloved, neither do [A/C#]you
[F#m] Those Windermere peaks look like a[G]a perfect place to cry
I'm setting o[A]off, but not without my muse
[C#] [E] [F#] [A] [B] [C#] [D]
(Bridge)
[D]I want auroras and sad [F#m]prose
[Em]I want to watch wisteria [Bm]grow right over my bare feet
[D]Because I haven't moved[F#m]moved in years
A[Em]And I want you right he[Bm]here
[D] A red rose grew up ou[F#m]out of ice frozen ground
W[Em]With no one around to t[Bm]tweet it
[D] While I bathe in clif[F#m]cliffside pools
Wit[Em]With my calamitous love a[Bm]and insurmountable grief
(Chorus)
[F#m] Take me to the lakes, where all the [G]poets went to die
I don't be[Bm]belong and, my beloved, neither do [A/C#]you
[F#m]Those Windermere peaks look like a per[G]perfect place to cry
I'm se[F#m]setting off, but not [G]without my muse
No, not without yo[A]you
