Verse 1: G I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head Em They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed C Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone Am Playing movies in my head that make a xxxxx feel like home G There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain Em An ounce of peace is all I want for you; will you never call again? C And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face? Am And will you never try to reach me; It is I that wanted space Chorus: G Hate me today Em Hate me tomorrow C D Em Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you G Hate me in ways Em Yeah ways hard to swallow C D G Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you Verse 2: G I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with Em The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again C In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night Am While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight G You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate Em You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take C So I’ll drive so xxxxxxx far away that I never cross your mind Am And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind Chorus: G Hate me today Em Hate me tomorrow C D Em Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you G Hate me in ways Em Yeah ways hard to swallow C D G Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you Bridge: Am7 D And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave G Em Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made Am7 D And like a baby boy I never was a man G Em Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand Am7 D And then I fell down yelling ‘Make it go away!’ G Em Just make a smile, come back and shine, like it used to be Am7 D And then she whispered ‘How can you do this to me?’ Chorus: G Hate me today Em Hate me tomorrow C D Em Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you G Hate me in ways Em Yeah ways hard to swallow C D G Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you Em For you C D For you G For you This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
