Capo on 2nd fret
(One, two)
(One, two, three)
Am
Quick, quick
Tell me something awful
G
Like you are a poet
Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Am
Tell me all your secrets
G
All you'll ever be is
My eternal consolation prize
Am G
You see, I was a debutant in another life, but
Am
Now I seem to be scared to go outside
If comfort is a construct
G
I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what
C
I hate it here, so I will go to
Secret gardens in my mind
Am
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine
G
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
Am
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C Am
I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here
G Am
I hate it here
Am
My friends used to play a game where
G
We would pick a decade
Am
We wished we could live in instead of this
G
I'd say the 1830s, but without all the racists
Am
And getting married off for the highest bid
G
Everyone would look down, 'cause it wasn't fun now
Am
Seems like it was never even fun back then
Nostalgia is a mind's trick
G
If I'd been there, I'd hate it
It was freezing in the palace
C
I hate it here, so I will go to
Lunar valleys in my mind
Am
When they found a better planet
Only the gentle survived
G
I dreamed about it in the dark
The night I felt like I might die
Am
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C Am
I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here
G Am
I hate it here
G
I'm lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
D
I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life
Am
And I'll get lost on purpose
C
This place made me feel worthless
G
Lucid dreams like electricity
D
The current flies through me
Am C
And in my fantasies, I rise above it
G*
And way up there, I actually love it
C
I hate it here, so I will go to
Secret gardens in my mind
Am
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine
G
I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
Am
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
C Am
I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here
G Am
I hate it here
Am
Quick, quick
Tell me something awful
G
Like you are a poet
Am
Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
