I Hate It Here

Em quick, quick tell me something awful G like you are a poet C trapped inside the body of a finance guy.. tell me all your secrets C all you'll ever be is Em my eternal consolation prize.. G you see i was a debutant in another life, but C now i seem to be scared to go outside.. if comfort is a construct C i don't believe in good luck now that i know what's what.. Chorus G i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind Em people need a key to get to the only one is mine D i read about it in a book C when i was a precocious child no mid sized city hopes and small town fears.. G i'm there most of the year Em D C cause i hate it here.. i hate it here Em my friends used to play a game where G we would pick a decade C we wished we could live in instead of this.. C i'd say the 1830s but without all the racists Em and getting married off for the highest bid.. G everyone would look down cause it wasn't fun now C seems like it was never even fun back then nostalgia is a mind's trick C if i'd been there, i'd hate it it was freezing in the palace.. Chorus G i hate it here so i will go to lunar valleys in my mind Em when they found a better planet only the gentle survived D i dreamed about it in the dark C the night i felt like i might die no mid sized city hopes and small town fears.. G i'm there most of the year Em D/F# C cause i hate it here.. i hate it here D i'm lonely, but i'm good i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.. C i'll save all my romanticism for my inner life Am Em and i'll get lost.. on purpose C G this place made me.. feel worthless Am Em lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and C G in my fantasies i rise above it C and way up there, i actually love it Chorus G i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind Em people need a key to get to the only one is mine D i read about it in a book C when i was a precocious child no mid sized city hopes and small town fears.. G i'm there most of the year Em D cause i hate it here.. i hate it here C quick, quick tell me something awful G like you are a poet (Em) trapped inside the body of a finance.. guy Outro Em D C G Note: Original key from G
