The Lakes (Acoustic Live)

Intro Em Bm D F#m [Verse 1] Em Bm D F#m Em Bm Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? D F#m Em I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones G These hunters with cell phones Chorus F#m G Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you F#m G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse [Verse 2] D F#m Em What should be over-burrowed under my skin Bm D In heart-stopping waves of hurt F#m Em I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Bm Tell me what are my words worth Chorus F#m G Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you F#m G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse Bridge D F#m I want auroras and sad prose Em Bm D I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet F#m Em 'Cause I haven't moved in years Bm D And I want you right here F#m Em A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground Bm With no one around to tweet it D F#m While I bathe in cliffside pools Am E B With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief Chorus F#m G Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you F#m G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse D No, not without you F#m Em Bm D F#m Em Bm No, not without you
