[Intro] C Em Dm Am Am/B x2 [Verse 1] C Em Dm Am Am/B Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? C Em Dm I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones Am Am/B These hunters with cell phones [Chorus] Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G/B I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry G I'm setting off, but not without my muse [Verse 2] C Em Dm What should be over burrowed under my skin Am Am/B In heart-stopping waves of hurt C Em Dm I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Am Am/B Tell me what are my words worth [Chorus] Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G/B I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry G I'm setting off, but not without my muse [Bridge] C Em I want auroras and sad prose Dm Am (Am/B) C I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet Em Dm Because I haven't moved in years Am And I want you right here C Em A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground Dm Am With no one around to tweet it C Em While I bathe in cliffside pools Dm Am With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief [Chorus] Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G/B I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry G I'm setting off, but not without my muse C No, not without you
