1’ 6 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
Quick, quick, tell me some-thing aw-ful,
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
Like you are a po-et
(2’6) 3’ 3’ 3’ 2’ (1’1) 1’ 1’ 3’ 5 (641)
trapped in-side the bod-y of a fi-nance guy.
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
Tell me all your se-crets,
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
all you’ll ever be is
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ 3’ 5 (53)
my e-ter-nal con-so-la-tion prize.
5 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ 1’
You see, I was a deb-u-tante
2’ 3’ (3’1′) 3’ 2’
in an-oth-er life,
(1’5) 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ 1’ (3’1’) 5 (641)
but now I seem to be scared to go out-side.
5 (3’1’) 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
If com-fort is a con-struct,
5 (3’1’) 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
I don’t be-lieve in good luck,
2’ (3’1′) 3’ 3’ (1’6) 2’
now that I know what’s what.
5 2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
I hate it here so I will go to
2’ 1’ 7 7 7 1’ 1’
se-cret gar-dens in my mind.
2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
Peo-ple need a key to get to;
7 7 7 7 1’ 1’
the on-ly one is mine.
1’ (3’57) 2’ (2’7) 1’ (75) 7 7
I read a-bout it in a book
5 (3’57) 2’ (2’7) 1’ (1’5) 7 (531)
when I was a pre-co-cious child.
3’ 7 7 7 7 7
No mid-sized cit-y hopes
7 7 (61) (1’63)
and small-town fears.
3’ 7 7 7 7 7
I’m there most of the year
7 7 7 (61) (1’35) 7 6 5 (31)
‘cause I hate it here.
(3’3) (75) 7 (752)
I hate it here.
1’ 6 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
My friends used to play a game where
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
we would pick a dec-ade
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ (1’1) 3’ 5 (641)
we wished we could live in in-stead of this.
5 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
I’d say the eight-een thir-ties,
6 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
but with-out all the rac-ists
6 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ (1’1) 3’ 5 (51)
and get-ting mar-ried off for the high-est bid.
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
Ev-’ry one would look down
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
‘cause it was-n’t fun now.
2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’ 1’ 1’ (3’1’5) 5 (641)
Seems like it was nev-er e-ven fun back then.
5 3’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
Nos-tal-gia is a mind’s trick;
5 3’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (2’6) 1’
if I’d been there, I’d hate it.
6 6 2’ 3’ 3’ 3’ (1’6) 2’
It was freez-ing in the pal-ace.
5 2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
I hate it here so I will go to
2’ 1’ 7 7 7 1’ 1’
lu-nar val-leys in my mind.
2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
When they found a bet-ter plan-et,
2′ 1’ 7 7 7 1’ 1’
on-ly the gen-tle sur-vived.
1’ (3’57) 2’ (2’7) 1’ (75) 7 7
I dreamed a-bout it in the dark
5 (3’57) 2’ (2’7) 1’ (1’5) 7 (531)
the night I felt like I might die.
3’ 7 7 7 7 7
No mid-sized cit-y hopes
7 7 (61) (1’63)
and small-town fears.
3’ 7 7 7 7 7
I’m there most of the year
7 7 7 (61) (1’35) 7 6 5 (31)
‘cause I hate it here.
(3’3) (75) 7 (752)
I hate it here.
5 (3’57) 2’ 2’ 1’ (2’7)
I’m lone-ly, but I’m good.
5 (3’57) 3’ 3’ 3’ (5’5) 1’ (2’7)
I’m bit-ter, but I swear I’m fine.
5 (3’57) 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’
I’ll save all my ro-man-ti-cis-m
2’ 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’
for my in-ner life,
1’ 1’ 1’ (4’61’) (3’5) (2’6) 1’
And I’ll get lost on pur-pose.
1’ 2’ 1’ (4’61’) (3’5) 2’ 1’
This place made me feel worth-less.
(2’46) 2’ 2′ (2’46) 2’ 2’ (2’46) 1’ 2’
Lu-cid dreams like e-lec-tric-i-ty,
2’ (2’46) 2’ 2’ 2’ 2’
the cur-rent flies through me.
2’ (2’46) 2’ 2’ 2’ 2′
And in my fan-ta-sies,
2’ (2’46) 2’ 2’ (1’5)
I rise a-bove it.
5 2’ 2’ (3’1)
And way up there,
5 (2’46) 2’ 3’ 2’ 1’
I ac-tual-ly love it.
5 2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
I hate it here so I will go to
2’ 1’ 7 7 7 1’ 1’
se-cret gar-dens in my mind.
2’ 1’ 1’ 7 7 7 7 1’
Peo-ple need a key to get to;
7 7 7 7 1’ 1’
the on-ly one is mine.

3’ 7 7 7 7 7
No mid-sized cit-y hopes
7 7 (61) (1’63)
and small-town fears.

I’m there most of the year
7 7 7 (61) (1’35) 7 6 5 (31)

4 6 6 5
I hate it here.
7 6 (2’46) 3’ (3’5) 3’ (2’6) 1’
Quick, quick, tell me some-thing aw-ful,
(2’46) 3’ (3’5) 3’ (2’6) 1’
like you are a po-et
(2’46) 3’ (3’1’5) 3’ 2’ 1’ (1’35) 1’ (3’1’5) 5 (531)
trapped in-side the bod-y of a fi-nance guy.
