[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm
reading a love letter from her confederate sweetheart in class,
C
he would’ve survived world war two
Gm
saying that she’s his world, but together
Dm
they only make the world more blue
Dm
are you staring cause you’re jealous of me,
C
or is there something in you that you’ve buried deep inside?
Gm
you strike a match and burn the flag
Dm
all to show that you’re adverse to the love that you hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
and you think that i don’t notice,
Dm
well honey, i’ve been in your shoes
Gm
and when i say i saw it coming
Dm
i mean that, for a year or two
Gm
i can see you getting nervous
Dm
i see your palms begin to sweat
Gm A7
and everybody else around you says you give just what you get
[Chorus]
Dm A7 Dm
but you don’t give anything but hateful love
Dm A7 Dm
you know, i know just who you remind me of
Dm A7 Bb Gm
you’re like that man on tv who sounds deranged,
Dm A7 Bb A7
the only thing that we can hope is that you’ll truly change
[Verse 2]
Dm
i hear the children laughing
C
they’re making fun of what they don’t understand, i assume
Gm
but behind all the talking
Dm A7
there seems to be a small fraction of truth
Dm C
is it so wrong to love him? i just can’t see myself feeling any other way
Gm Dm
the thoughts that swirl within his mind are rapidly snuffed out by their slights and decay
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Dm
ladies on the left, and gentlemen please to the right
Gm Dm
we’ll walk down the aisle for you, before you even gain your sight
Gm
but it’s okay to feel, i promise,
Dm
you’ll go down any path you choose
Gm
but if you don’t go down our lane
A7
then it’s most likely that you’ll lose
[Chorus]
Dm A7 Dm
cause you don’t give anything but hateful love
Dm A7 Dm
you know, i know just who you remind me of
Dm A7 Bb Gm
you’re just a young teenage menace who won’t go far
Dm A7 Bb A7
at best, all of your brightness is that of a shooting star
[Bridge]
Bb Dm
i wouldn’t be surprised if someday far on down the line
Bb Dm
you figure out the truth there all along
Bb Dm
forty-six with 2.5 kids
Bb
too late to the fix the ones you wronged
A7
and then you’ll cry to this song
[Chorus]
Dm A7 Dm
you still don’t give anything but hateful love
Dm A7 Dm
you know, this is just what happens when push comes to shove
Dm A7 Bb Gm
and i’m so sorry you’re aching, i hope your lesson’s learned
Dm A7 Bb A7
i guess it’s what you get for being oh so unconcerned
Dm
