Intro:
C majorC E minorEm DmDm A minorAm Am/B x2

Verse 1:
C majorC    E minorEm        DmDm      A minorAm Am/B
Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me?
C majorC      E minorEm        DmDm
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
   A minorAm Am/B
These hunters with cell phones

Chorus:
E minorEm                 FF
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
      A minorAm              C majorC
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
E minorEm                FF
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
      G+G
I'm setting off, but not without my muse


Verse 2:
C majorC       E minorEm      DmDm
What should be over burrowed under my skin
  A minorAm          Am/B
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
C majorC       E minorEm        DmDm
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
    A minorAm     Am/B
Tell me what are my words worth


Chorus:
E minorEm                 FF
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
      A minorAm                 C majorC
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
E minorEm                 FF
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
       G+G
I'm setting off, but not without my muse

Bridge:
C majorC         E minorEm
I want auroras and sad prose
DmDm         A minorAm  (Am/B)   C majorC
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
E minorEm             DmDm
Because I haven't moved in years
A minorAm
And I want you right here
C majorC             E minorEm
A augmentedA red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
   DmDm        A minorAm
With no one around to tweet it
C majorC        E minorEm
While I bathe in cliffside pools
     DmDm          A minorAm
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief


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