Taylor Swift - I Hate It Here - Welcome To New York(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:

Bm 
 Quick, quick 
                                        D 
 Tell me something awful like you are a poet 
                                     G 
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy 
  N.C 
 Tell me all your secrets 
           D 
 All you?ll ever be is 
                           Bm 
 My eternal consolation prize 
                                    D 
 You see I was a debutant in another life, but 
                                  G 
 Now I seem to be scared to go outside 
 N.C 
 If comfort is a construct, I don?t believe in good luck 

 Now that I know what?s what 


 
   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                                               G 
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child 

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears 
 D                                             Bm 
 I?m there most of the year ?cause I hate it here 
                A  G 
 I hate it here 

Verse 2:

Bm 
 My friends used to play a game where 
                 D 
 We would pick a decade 
                                       G 
 We wished we could live in instead of this 

 I?d say the 1830s but without all the racists 
                                           Bm 
 And getting married off for the highest bid 
                                           D 
 Everyone would look down ?cause it wasn?t fun now 
                                       G 
 Seems like it was never even fun back then 
 N.C 
 Nostalgia is a mind?s trick 
 N.C 
 If I?d been there, I?d hate it 

 It was freezing in the palace 

Pre-Chorus

  D                                 G 
 I hate it here so I will go to - New York 

(Tempo picks up) 



G                 D                 C 
Walking through a crowd the village is aglow 
   G            D               C 
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats 
G         D           C 
Everybody here wanted something more 
G               D               C 
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before 

Bridge:
 
Em      D        C 
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing 
Em          D    C 
Like any real love, it's ever changing 
Em      D       C 
Like any true love, it drives you crazy 
G                D 
But you know you wouldn't change 
C                 C 
Anything anything any-thing 



         D 
 Cause, 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                                               G 
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child 

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears 
 D                                             Bm 
 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 
     C.                G 
So bright they never blind me 
                D 
 Like you are a poet 
                                   Bm        A  G  D 
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
