🎶 I hate it here

[A#m]Quick, quick
Tell me something [Db]awful
Like you are a [Cb]poet
Trapped inside the [Cb]body of a finance guy
[A#m]Tell me all your [Db]secrets
All you'll ever [Cb]be is
My eternal consolation [A#m]prize
You see I was a [Db]debutant
In another [Cb]life, but
Now I seem to be scared to go [A#m]outside
If [Cb]comfort is a construct
I don't believe in good luck
Now that I know what's what

I [Cb]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
I [Bbm]read about it in a
book when I was a precocious [Db]child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[Cb]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here [A#m]
I hate it here [Bbm] [Db]

[A#m]My friends used to play a [Db]game where
We would pick a [Cb]decade
We wished we could live in instead of [A#m]this
I'd say the 18 [Db]30s but without all the [Cb]racists
and getting married off for the highest [A#m]bid
Everyone would [Db]look down
'Cause it wasn't [Cb]fun now
Seems like it was never even fun back [A#m]then
Nostalgia is a [Db]mind's trick
If I'd been there, I'd [Cb]hate it
It was freezing in the palace

I [Cb]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
I [Bbm]dreamed about it in the dark
The night I felt like I might [Db]die
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[Cb]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here [A#m]
I hate it here [Bbm] [Db]

I'm [Bbm]lonely, but I'm good
I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine
I'll [Db]save all my romanticism for my
inner life and I'll get [D#]lost on [A#m]purpose
This place made [Db]me feel [Cb]worthless
[D#]Lucid dreams like electrici [A#m]ty, the current flies
through me and [Db]in my fantasies I rise above it
And [Db]way up there, I actually love it

I [Cb]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
I [Bbm]read about it in a book
when I was a precocious [Db]child
No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
[Cb]I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here [A#m]
I hate it here [Bbm] [Db]

[Db]Quick, quick
Tell me something awful
Like you are a [Cb]poet
Trapped inside the body of a finance [A#m]guy [Db] [Bbm] [Db] [Cb]⠀
