Written by Taylor Swift / Aaron Dessner
(One, two) (One, two, three) Am Quick, quick Tell me something awful G Like you are a poet Trapped inside the body of a finance guy Am Tell me all your secrets G All you'll ever be is My eternal consolation prize Am G You see, I was a debutant in another life, but Am Now I seem to be scared to go outside If comfort is a construct G I don't believe in good luck Now that I know what's what C I hate it here, so I will go to Secret gardens in my mind Am People need a key to get to The only one is mine G I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child Am No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears C Am I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here G Am I hate it here Am My friends used to play a game where G We would pick a decade Am We wished we could live in instead of this G I'd say the 1830s, but without all the racists Am And getting married off for the highest bid G Everyone would look down, 'cause it wasn't fun now Am Seems like it was never even fun back then Nostalgia is a mind's trick G If I'd been there, I'd hate it It was freezing in the palace C I hate it here, so I will go to Lunar valleys in my mind Am When they found a better planet Only the gentle survived G I dreamed about it in the dark The night I felt like I might die Am No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears C Am I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here G Am I hate it here G I'm lonely, but I'm good I'm bitter, but I swear I'm fine D I'll save all my romanticism for my inner life Am And I'll get lost on purpose C This place made me feel worthless G Lucid dreams like electricity D The current flies through me Am C And in my fantasies, I rise above it G* And way up there, I actually love it C I hate it here, so I will go to Secret gardens in my mind Am People need a key to get to The only one is mine G I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child Am No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears C Am I'm there most of the year, 'cause I hate it here G Am I hate it here Am Quick, quick Tell me something awful G Like you are a poet Am Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
