Song Title: If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Artist: Squeeze
The last time I sent in a song, some of the chords shifted
slightly. Listen to the song to get a better idea of how
to play it just in case. :)
Please post corrections if I'm way off here.
If I Didn't Love You I'd Hate You - Squeeze
Intro | G | AGD |
A5 G5 D5
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A5 G5 D5
Watching you play in the bath
A5 G5 D5
A soap suds stickle back navy
A5 G5 D5
A scrubbing brush landing craft
C5 G5 G#min
Your skin gets softer and warmer
C5 G5 G#min
I pat you down with a towel
F#min E5 A5
Tonight it's love by the fire
G5 E5
My mind goes out on the prowl
F#5
If I - if I - if I - if I
A5 G5 D5
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A5 G5 D5
I'm playing your stereogram
A5 G5 D5
Singles remind me of kisses
A5 G5 D5
Albums remind me of plans
C5 G5 G#min
Tonight it's love by the fire
C5 G5 G#min
The wind plays over the coals
F#min E5 A5
Passionate looks are my fancy
G5 E5
But you turn the look into stone
F#5
If I - if I - if I - if I
F#5
If I didn't love you
A5 F5
Would you sit and glow
D5
by the fire
A5 F5
If I didn't love you
D5 A5 F5
Would you make me feel so
D5
Maybe you love me
A5 F5 D5
Oh...If I didn't love you
A5 F5
F#5
If I - if I - if I - if I
G (play verse without words)
A5 G5 D5
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A5 G5 D5
Cocoa mugs sit side by side
A5 G5 D5
It's time to poke at the fire
A5 G5 D5
But it's not tonight, looks I find
C5 G5 G#min
Taking a bite on a biscuit
C5 G5 G#min
The record jumps on a scratch
F#min E5 A5
Tonight it's love by the fire
G5 E5
The door of your love's on the latch
F#5
If I - if I - if I - if I
F#5
If I didn't love you
A5 F5
Would you sit and glow
D5
by the fire
A5 F5
If I didn't love you
D5 A5 F5
Would you make me feel so
D5
Maybe you love me
A5 F5 D5
Oh...If I didn't love you
A5 F5
Would you sit and glow
D5
by the fire
A5 F5
If I didn't love you
D5 A5 F5
Would you make me feel so
D5
Maybe you love me
A5 F5 D5
Oh...If I didn't love you
A5 F5
F#5
If I - if I - if I - Didn't - didn't - didn't - Love you - love
you - love you

A different interpretation
Words basically taken from what's above, with revised (and hopefully more
correct) chords.
Figured out by Geordan Rosario (geordan@csua.berkeley.edu) with some help from
Ben Scott (scotsman@csua.berkeley.edu). Ben rewound the CD relentlessly for
me.

----------
Footnote 1: If played on keyboard, the D must be played D-F#-A. Won't sound
right otherwise.
Footnote 2: That's right, no chord split F#. i.e., the bassist closes the
song with F#.
