I Hate It Here chords by Taylor Swift

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Bm

🎸 Verse 1:
 Bm
 Quick, quick
          G          D
 Tell me something awful like you are a poet
          D
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
Bm        G
 Tell me all your secrets
          D
 All you’ll ever be is
            Bm
 My eternal consolation prize
         G          D
 You see I was a debutant in another life, but
                 Bm
 Now I seem to be scared to go outside
  D
 If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck

 Now that I know what’s what


🎸 Chorus:
  D
 I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
 Bm
 People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
  A                        G
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
 D                       Bm
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
        A G
 I hate it here



🎸 Verse 2:
 Bm            G
 My friends used to play a game where
         D
 We would pick a decade
                    Bm
 We wished we could live in instead of this
        G            D
 I’d say the 1830s but without all the racists
                     Bm
 And getting married off for the highest bid
        G             D
 Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
                    Bm
 Seems like it was never even fun back then
        G
 Nostalgia is a mind’s trick
            D
 If I’d been there, I’d hate it

 It was freezing in the palace


🎸 Chorus:
  D
 I hate it here so I will go to Lunar valleys in my mind
 Bm
 When they found a better planet Only the gentle survived
  A
 I dreamed about it in the dark
                G
 The night I felt like I might die

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
 D                       Bm
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
        A G
 I hate it here


🎸 Bridge:
   A
 I’m lonely, but I’m good

 I’m bitter, but I swear I’m fine
   G                           Em   Bm
 I’ll save all my romanticism for my inner life and I’ll get lost on purpose
         G    D
 This place made me feel worthless
 Em             Bm                  G            D
 Lucid dreams like electricity, the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
   G   N.C.
 And way up there, I actually love it


🎸 Chorus:
  D
 I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind
 Bm
 People need a key to get to, the only one is mine
  A                        G
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
 D                       Bm
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
        A G
 I hate it here


🎸 Outro:

 Quick, quick, tell me something awful
        D
 Like you are a poet
                  Bm   G A G D
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
