Hate Me (Ver. 3)

Key: GHard

Verse 1

GI have to block out thoughts of you so I don?t lose my head

They cEmrawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed

Dropping Clittle reels of tape to remind me that I?m alone

Playing Ammovies in my head that make a porno feel like home

There's a Gburning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain

An ounce of Empeace is all I want for you; will you never call again?

And will you Cnever say that you love me just to put it in my face?

And will you Amnever try to reach me; It is I that wanted space

Hate me Gtoday

Hate me Emtomorrow

Hate me for aCll the things I dDidn't do for yEmou

Hate me in wGays

Yeah ways hard to Emswallow

Hate me so Cyou can finally sDee what's good forG you

Verse 2

I?m sGober now for 3 whole months it?s one accomplishment that you helped me with

The one Emthing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won?t touch again

In my Csick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night

While I was bAmusy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight

You never dGoubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate

You made me Emcompliment myself when it was way too hard to take

So I?ll Cdrive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind

And Amdo whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me Gtoday

Hate me Emtomorrow

Hate me for Call the things I Ddidn't do forEm you

Hate me in Gways

Yeah ways hard to Emswallow

Hate me so yCou can finally Dsee what's good for Gyou

Bridge

(To lead onto bridge)

And with a saCd heart I say bye to you and wDave

Kicking Gshadows on the street for every mEmistake that I had made

And like Ca baby boy I never wDas a man

Until I Gsaw your blue eyes cry and I held your fEmace in my hand

And then I fCell down yelling ?Make it go awDay!?

Just make a sGmile come back and shine just liEmke it used to be

And then she Cwhispered ?How can you do this to mDe??

Hate me toGday

Hate me toEmmorrow

Hate me for aCll the things I Ddidn't do for Emyou

Hate me in wGays

Yeah ways hard to Emswallow

Hate me so Cyou can finally Dsee what's good for yGou

(played in last Chorus)

For you

Key: FCapo 1Hard

FI really need to talk with Cyou

I keep Dmstepping on the vein

That keeps my Bblifeline flowing through.

FI wanna be your perfect stick of Cglue

How FloAmng Dmwill I be picking up pieFceAms? Dm

How FloAmng Dmwill I be picking up mBby heartC?
