Hate Me Blue October

G Em C D

G
I have to block out thoughts of you

so I dont 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
D
Playing movies in my head

That make a porno feel like home

G
There's a burning in my pride

A nervous bleeding in my brain
Em
And ounce of pieces is all I want for you

Will you never call again

C
And will you never say that you loved me

Just to put it in my face
D
And will you never try to reach me

It is I that wanted space

G
Hate Me today
Em
Hate me tomorrow
C
Hate me for all the things
D Em
I didn't do for you
G
Hate me in ways
Em
Yeah in ways hard to swallow
C D G
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

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 I won't touch again

C
In my sick way I want to thank you

For holding my head up late at night
D
While I was busy waging wars with 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 f**king far away

That I never cross your mind
D
And do whatever it takes in your heart

To leave me behind

G
Hate Me today
Em
Hate me tomorrow
C
Hate me for all the things
D Em
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

C 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
C D
And like a baby boy I never was a man
G Em
Til I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand

C D
And then I fell down yelling make it go away
G Em
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be
C D
And she whispered "how can you do this to me?"

G
Hate Me today
Em
Hate me tomorrow
C
Hate me for all the things
D Em
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
