The Lakes chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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


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

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


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


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


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