[Verse 1] Bm Quick, quick G D Tell me something awful like you are a poet D Trapped inside the body of a finance guy Bm G Tell me all your secrets D All you’ll ever be is Bm My eternal consolation prize G D You see I was a debutant in another life, but Bm 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 Bm People need a key to get to,
The only one is mine A I read about it in a book
G
When I was a precocious child No mid-sized city hopes
And small-town fears D I’m there most of the year
Bm
’cause I hate it here A G I hate it here [Verse 2] Bm G My friends used to play a game where D We would pick a decade We wished we could live in
Bm
Instead of this G I’d say the 1830s but without
D
All the racists And getting married off
Bm
For the highest bid G Everyone would look down
D
’cause it wasn’t fun now Seems like it was never
Bm
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 Bm 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 I’m there most of the year
Bm
’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 I’ll save all my romanticism for my
Em Bm
Inner life and I’ll get lost on purpose G D This place made me feel worthless Em Bm Lucid dreams like electricity,
The current flies through me and
G D
In my fantasies I rise above it G N.C. And way up there, I actually love it [Chorus] D I 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 A I read about it in a book
G
When I was a precocious child No mid-sized city hopes
And small-town fears D I’m there most of the year
Bm
’cause I hate it here A G I hate it here [Outro] Quick, quick, tell me something awful D Like you are a poet Trapped inside the body
Bm G A G D
Of a finance guy
