[Intro]
C  Am  F  G x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 C         Am           F           G
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
 C           Am                 F
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones
         G
These hunters with cell phones
 
 
[Chorus]
  Am                                 F
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
          C                               G
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
  Am                                 F
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
             C                       G
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
 
 
[Verse 2]
 C              Am            F
What should be over burrowed under my skin
     G
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
  C            Am                  F
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
         G
Tell me what are my words worth
 
 
[Chorus]
  Am                                 F
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
         C                                  G
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
  Am                                 F
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
             C                        G
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
 
 
[Bridge]
C                   Am
I want auroras and sad prose
F                    G                C            Am
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
                 F
'Cause I haven't moved in years
    G
And I want you right here
C           Am             F
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
     G
With no one around to tweet it
  C                  Am
While I bathe in cliffside pools
            F                      G
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                                   F
Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die
           C                                G
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
  Am                                  F
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
             C                        G
I'm setting off, but not without my muse
 
No, not without you
