Verse:
Cm
Quick, quick
G#D#
Tell me something awful like you are a poet
D#
Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
CmG#
Tell me all your secrets
D#
All you’ll ever be is
Cm
My eternal consolation prize
G#D#
You see I was a debutant in another life, but
Cm
Now I seem to be scared to Go outside
D#
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
Cm
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#Cm
I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
A#G#
I hate it here
Verse:
CmG#
My friends used to play a game where
D#
We would pick a decade
Cm
We wished we could live in instead of this
G#D#
I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
Cm
And getting married off for the highest bid
G#D#
Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
Cm
Seems like it was never even fun back then
G#
Nostalgia is a mind’s trick
D#
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
Cm
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#Cm
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#FmCm
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
FmCmG#D#
Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
G#
And way up there, I actually love it
Chorus:
D#
I hate it here so I will Go to secret gardens in my mind
Cm
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#Cm
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
