I Hate It Here Chords Taylor Swift

 Bm
 Quick, quick
                                     
 Tell me something awful like you are a poet
A               
 Trapped inside the body of a finance guy
G              
 Tell me all your secrets All you’ll ever be is

 My eternal consolation prize


Bm                 
 You see I was a debutant in another life, but
A                                  
 Now I seem to be scared to go outside
G
 If comfort is a construct, I don’t believe in good luck
 
 Now that I know what’s what


 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 
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
G 
 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D                                             
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
Bm              A  G
 I hate it here


 Bm                      
 My friends used to play a game where
                 A
 We would pick a decade
                                    
 We wished we could live in instead of this
G                          
 I’d say the 1830's but without all the racists
                                         
 And getting married off for the highest bid


Bm 
 Everyone would look down ’cause it wasn’t fun now
A                        
 Seems like it was never even fun back then
G      
 Nostalgia is a mind’s trick If I’d been there, I’d hate it
 
 It was freezing in the palace


 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 
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
G 
 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D                                             
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
Bm              A  G
 I hate it here


     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
 Lucid dreams like electricity,
Bm                                G                      D
 the current flies through me and in my fantasies I rise above it
     G   
 And way up there, I actually love it


 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 
 I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child
G 
 No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears
D                                                A
 I’m there most of the year ’cause I hate it here
Bm              A 
 I hate it here


 G
 Quick, quick, tell me something awful
                D
 Like you are a poet
                              D/F#   Bm   A  G  D
