Verse:
A#m
Quick, quick
F#C#
Tell me something awful like you are a poet
C#
Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
A#mF#
Tell me all your secrets
C#
All you’ll ever be is
A#m
My eternal consolation prize
F#C#
You see I was a debutant in another life, but
A#m
Now I seem to be scared to Go outside
C#
If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck
Now that I know what’s what
Chorus:
C#
I hate it here so I will Go to secret gardens in my mind
A#m
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
G#F#
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C#A#m
I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
G#F#
I hate it here
Verse:
A#mF#
My friends used to play a game where
C#
We would pick a decade
A#m
We wished we could live in instead of this
F#C#
I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
A#m
And getting married off for the highest bid
F#C#
Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
A#m
Seems like it was never even fun back then
F#
Nostalgia is a mind’s trick
C#
If I’d been there, I’d hate it
It was freezing in the palace
Chorus:
C#
I hate it here so I will Go to Lunar valleys in my mind
A#m
When they found a better planet Only the gentle survived
G#
I dreamed about it in the dark
F#
The night I felt like I might die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C#A#m
I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
G#F#
I hate it here
Bridge:
G#
I’m lonely, but I’m good
I’m bitter, but I swear I’m fine
F#D#mA#m
I’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I’ll get lost on purpose
F#C#
This place made me feel worthless
D#mA#mF#C#
Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
F#
And way up there, I actually love it
Chorus:
C#
I hate it here so I will Go to secret gardens in my mind
A#m
People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
G#F#
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C#A#m
I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
G#F#
I hate it here
Outro:
Quick, quick, tell me something awful
C#
Like you are a poet
A#mF#G#F#C#
Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
