Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro C Em F Dm X2 C Em F Dm Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? C Em F I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones Dm These hunters with cell phones Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry Am G I'm setting off, but not without my muse
C Em F What should be over burrowed under my skin Dm In heart-stopping waves of hurt C Em F I've come too far to watch some name-dropping sleaze Dm Tell me what are my Wordsworth Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry Am G I'm setting off, but not without my muse C Em I want auroras and sad prose F Dm C I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet Em F 'Cause I haven't moved in years Dm And I want you right here C Em F A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground Dm With no one around to tweet it C Em While I bathe in cliff-side pools F Dm With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief Em F Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Am G I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Em F Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry Am G I'm setting off, but not without my muse
