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
