Em
C
Am
Am7

strumming pattern :
down down up down up down

verse one :
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 porno 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?
Em
and will you never try to reach me; it is i that wanted space

{chorus}
G Em
hate me today
C
hate me tomorrow
D Em C
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 Em
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 fxxking far away that i never cross your mind
Am
and do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

{chorus}

{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 just like it used to be
Am7 D
and then she whispered ’how can you do this to me?’

{chorus}

Em
for you
C D
for you
G
for you
