[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
