The Lakes chords by Taylor Swift

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
D MajorD   A augmentedA        B minorBm      G+G
Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me?
D MajorD    A augmentedA           B minorBm
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
   G+G
These hunters with cell phones


Chorus:
 A augmentedA                 B minorBm
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
     G+G      D MajorD
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
 A augmentedA                B minorBm
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
       G+G            A augmentedA
I'm setting off, but not without my muse

Verse 2:
 D MajorD       A augmentedA       B minorBm
What should be over burrowed under my skin
   G+G
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
 D MajorD       A augmentedA         B minorBm
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
     G+G
Tell me what are my words worth


Chorus:
 A augmentedA                  B minorBm
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
     G+G                 D MajorD
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
 A augmentedA                 B minorBm
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
       G+G           A augmentedA
I'm setting off, but not without my muse


Bridge:
D MajorD          A augmentedA
I want auroras and sad prose
B minorBm         G+G         D MajorD
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
 A augmentedA             B minorBm
'Cause I haven't moved in years
  G+G
And I want you right here
D MajorD        A augmentedA     B minorBm
A augmentedA red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
    G+G
With no one around to tweet it
 D MajorD         A augmentedA
While I bathe in cliffside pools
      B minorBm           G+G
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief


Chorus:
 A augmentedA                  B minorBm
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
     G+G                 D MajorD
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
 A augmentedA                  B minorBm
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
       G+G            A augmentedA
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
         D MajorD
No, not without you
