The Lakes chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 3)

🎸 Intro:

D  F#m  Em7  Bm
D  F#m  Em7  Bm



🎸 Verse:

D        F#m           Em7        Bm
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
D           F#m              Em7
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
      Bm
These hunters with cell phones

🎸 Chorus:

F#m                                 G
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
           Bm                            F#m
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:

D              F#m            Em7
What should be over burrowed under my skin
   Bm                      D
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
D             F#m               Em7
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                              F#m
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
Em7                 Bm              D
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
F#m                           Em7
'cause I haven't moved in years
Bm
And I want you right here
D          F#m            Em7
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
          Em7                    Bm
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

 🎸 Chorus:

F#m                                  G
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
           Bm                              F#m
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

Final: D  F#m  Em7  Bm
