Taylor Swift - the lakes

[Intro] x2
D  F#m  Em  Bm  Bm9


[Verse 1]
D         F#m            Em         Bm  Bm9
  Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
D             F#m               Em
  I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
      Bm Bm9
These hunters with cell phones


[Chorus]
F#m                                  G
  Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
          Bm                               A/C#
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 2]
D                F#m           Em
  What should be over burrowed under my skin
   Bm                   Bm9
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
D               F#m               Em
  I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
        Bm          Bm9
Tell me what are my words worth


[Chorus]
F#m                                  G
  Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
           Bm                              A/C#
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
Em                 Bm              D
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
F#m                         Em
  Because I haven't moved in years
Bm
And I want you right here
D              F#m          Em
  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
          Em                     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                              A/C#
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

No, not without you

[Outro] x2
D  F#m  Em  Bm  Bm9
