Intro: 
C5  D5 G5 C5 

                   C5       D5  G5  C5 
That?s how much I love you 
                   C5       D5  G5  C5 
That?s how much I need you 
              C5         D5 
And I can?t stand ya 
            G5          C5          C5 
Must everything you do make me wanna smile 
           D5            G5 
Can I not like it for awhile 
C5                  C5        D5 
No.. but you won?t let me 
     G5              C5          C5 
You upset me girl, then you kiss my lips 
           D5         C5 
All of a sudden I forget that I was upset 
                         D5 
Can?t remember what you did 


         C5   D5 
Well I hate it 
            G5            C5 
You know exactly what to do 
            C5               D5 
So that I can?t stay mad at you 
         G5             C5 
For too long, that?s wrong 
         C5    D5 
Girl, I hate it 
            G5            C5 
You know exactly how to touch 
        C5              D5                 C5 
So that I don?t wanna fuss and fight no more 
         C5           D5 
So I despise that I adore you 


       C5        D5      G5       C5 
And I hate how much I love you boy 
          C5         D5     G5       C5 
I can?t stand how much I need you 
       G5        D5      G5       C5 
And I hate how much I love you boy 
    C5             D5      A5 
But I just can?t let you go 
       C5           D5       G5 
And I hate that I love you so.. 


            G5                 C5           C5 
And you completely know the power that you have 
          D5                  G5 
The only one that makes me laugh 
         C5           D5          G5            C5         C5 
Sad and it?s not fair how you take advantage of the fact that I 
             D5             C5 
Love you beyond the reason why 
        C5          D5 
And it just ain?t right 

And I hate how much I love you girl 

I can?t stand how much I need you 

And I hate how much I love you girl 

But I just can?t let you go 

And I hate that I love you so 

(These chords are  almost the same as the chords on another version of this song (ver 

so im just letting you know that i thought these ones worked so its not like plaigerism. 

just strumming these. Only downward strokes.  Count in 4/4 time : 1 rest 2 rest 3 rest 4  

like you were counting out loud. That just sounds cool if you're singing it on only 

 If you have a percussion section while you're playing this, then just do it the way the  

does it) 

The number of strokes to play for each chord in the time i suggested are as follows: 


E5 x4, C5 x2, D5 x2, E5 x4, D5 x4, A5 

C5 x2, D5 x2, E5 x1, C5 x1, D5 x2, 

A5 x1, C5 x1, D5 ( this chord doesnt really work, but i cant find one that does) x4/ 
Hope you like this! it's easier than it looks ;) 


E5                            C5                 D5         E5 
     One of these days maybe your magic won?t affect me 
                              D5 
And your kiss won?t make me weak 
      A5                   C5                   D5 
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me 
E5         C5       D5       A5    C5      D5 
So you?ll probably always have a spell on me 

Now, continue playing it normally.  My time was only for the bridge above. 


C5 D5 G5 A5 x2 

                    C5      D5  G5  C5 
That?s how much I love you 
            C5       D5  G5  C5 
How much I need you 

That?s how much I need you 

That?s how much I love you 

That?s how much I need you 

And I hate that I love you-pause here for a beat- so----- 

And I hate how much I love you boy 

I can?t stand how much I need you 

And I hate how much I love you boy 

But I just can?t let you go 

And I hate that I love you so--slow down for next line 
      C5 x1           D5 (just stroke that D5 once, then stop) 
And I hate that I love you so.. so..
