Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Verse:
 Cm
 Quick, quick
                   G#                    D#
 Tell me something awful like you are a poet
                    D#
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Cm                G#
 Tell me all your secrets
                    D#
 All you’ll ever be is
                       Cm
 My eternal consolation prize
                 G#                   D#
 You see I was a debutant in another life, but
                                  Cm
 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
 Cm
 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#                                             Cm
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
                A#  G#
 I hate it here

Verse:
 Cm                        G#
 My friends used to play a game where
                 D#
 We would pick a decade
                                       Cm
 We wished we could live in instead of this
               G#                       D#
 I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
                                         Cm
 And getting married off for the highest bid
                G#                          D#
 Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
                                       Cm
 Seems like it was never 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
 Cm
 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#                                             Cm
 I’m there most of the year ’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#                                                      Fm      Cm
 I’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I’ll get lost on purpose
                 G#       D#
 This place made me feel worthless
 Fm                         Cm                                   G#                       D#
 Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
     G#
 And way up there, I actually love it

Chorus:
   D#
 I hate it here so I will Go to secret gardens in my mind
 Cm
 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#                                             Cm
 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
                D#
 Like you are a poet
                                   Cm      G#  A#  G#  D#
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
