D       F#m            Em          Bm
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?
D           F#m                Em
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                                A 
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

What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze
Tell me what are my words worth

Chorus

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

No, not without you
