Bm Quick, quick D Tell me something awful like you are a poet G Trapped inside the body of a finance guy N.C Tell me all your secrets D All you’ll ever be is Bm My eternal consolation prize D You see I was a debutant in another life, but G Now I seem to be scared to go outside N.C If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck Now that I know what’s whatVerse 1:
D I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind Bm 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 Bm I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here A G I hate it hereBm My friends used to play a game where D We would pick a decade G We wished we could live in instead of this I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists Bm And getting married off for the highest bid D Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now G Seems like it was never even fun back then N.C Nostalgia is a mind’s trick N.C If I’d been there, I’d hate it It was freezing in the palaceVerse 2:
D G I hate it here so I will go to - New York (Tempo picks up)Pre-Chorus
G D C Walking through a crowd the village is aglow G D C Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats G D C Everybody here wanted something more G D C Searching for a sound we hadn't heard beforeEm D C Like any great love, it keeps you guessing Em D C Like any real love, it's ever changing Em D C Like any true love, it drives you crazy G D But you know you wouldn't change C C Anything anything any-thingBridge:
D Cause, I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind Bm 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 Bm 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 C. G So bright they never blind me D Like you are a poet Bm A G D Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
