Verse 1
[Am]Quick, quick
Tell me something awful like you are a p[C]poet
Trapped inside the body of a finance [F]guy
Tell me all your secrets
All you’ll ever be is
My eternal consolation priz[Am]prize
You see I was a debutant in anothe[C]another life, but
Now I seem to be scared to go outs[F]outside
If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck
Now that I know what’s what
Chorus
I[C]I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
[Am]People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
I [G]read about it in a book when I was a precocious [F]child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[C]I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it [Am]here
I hate it here[G]here [F]
Verse 2
So [C]we went on our way, too in love to think straight
[Am]All alone or so it seemed
But there were str[C]strangers watching, and whispers turned to talking
And t[Am]talking turned to screams, oh
Pre-Chorus
D[F]Didn't they tell [Am]us don't rush into things
D[G]Didn't you flash y[Am]your green eyes at me
D[F]Didn't you calm [Am]my fears with a Cheshire cat sm[G]smile
Ooh, d[F]didn't it all s[Am]seem new and exciting
[G]I felt your [Am]arms twisting around me
It's a[F]ll fun and games,[Am] 'til somebody loses their m[G]ind
Chorus
But darling, w[F]we found [C]wonderland
Y[G]You and I got [Am]lost in it
And w[F]e pre[C]tended it could l[G]ast fore[Am]ver
W[F]We foun[C]found wonderland
Y[G]You and I got [Am]lost in it
And life[F] was ne[C]ver worse but ne[G]ver be[Am]tter
Post-Chorus
[F] [C] [G] In [Am]wonderland
[F] [C] [G] In [Am]wonderland
[F] [C] [G] In [Am]wonderland
[F] [C] [G] In [Am]wonderl[F]wonderland [C]
Bridge
I’m [G]lonely, but I’m good
I’m bitter, but I swear I’m fine
I r[G]reached for you
But yo[Am]you were gone [F] [C]
I’ll [F]save all my romanticism for
my inner life and I’ll get lo[Dm]lost on p[Am]purpose
This place made [F]me feel w[C]worthless
[Dm]Lucid dreams like electrici[Am]electricity, the current flies
through me and i[F]in my fantasies I rise [C]above it
And w[F]way up there, I actually love it
I kne[G]knew I had to [Am]go back home
You s[F]searched the world for [C]something
else to m[G]ake you feel like w[Am]hat we had
And [F]in the end in wo[C]nderland we b[G]oth went ma[C]d
Chorus
I [C]hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
And[F] we pre[C]tended it could l[G]ast fore[Am]ver
[Am]People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
And l[F]ife was ne[C]ver worse but nev[G]er bett[Am]er
I [G]read about it in a book when I was a
precocious child [F]
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
Y[G]You and I got l[Am]lost in it
[C]I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it he[Am]here
I hate it here[G]here [F]
In Wonderl[C]Wonderland
