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 fucking 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
