[Main Riff] x 3 (First Time jst the first bar)

[Silence]
Oh God, no -

[MainRiffJagger]
please don't tell her
what I've done
I can hardly look at her
everything I love, I hurt
[D][Eb][Bb]
Oh God, yes -

[MainRiffJagger]
she is love
she is sex
But I used her for the game,
A scapegoat to carry the blame
[D]             [D#LOUD]
for a hate song
[D]             [D#LOUD]
For a hate song
[D]                [D#LOUD]
It's like masochism - I hate
[D]
these hate songs
[D#LOUD]  [G]
Holding a dove
                    [D]
then clipping it's wings off
             [G]
Someone you love
                     [D]
and you give them the kiss off
           [G]
Someone to love - and you fuck it up!

[D][Eb][Bb]
How I hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
	these dirty words I emulate
[D][Eb][Bb]
How i hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
	ruining what I create
[D][Eb][Bb][A]
How I hate this
(and I hate that you don't fall for it)
[MainRiffChords]
- this sinner's serenade
[D][Eb][Bb]
This hate song (this self defecation)
[MainRiffChords]
isn't helping anyone
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]                    [D#LOUD]    [G]
He knows not what he's done to himself
                  [D]
What he's done to others
                [G]
He hides behind words
                [D]
he hides behind liquor
                 [G]
He hides in his bedroom with his guitar
          [D][D][D]
screaming,
[D#LOUD]
"Sinner!"

[MainRiff][D][D][D]
[D#LOUD]
"Sinner!"

[MainRiff][D][D][D]
[D#LOUD]
"Sinner!"
[MainRiff][D][D][D][D]
[D#LOUD]               [G]
Oh God, look what I've done
         [D]
in the bedroom.
               [G]
look what I've done
         [D]
in the bedroom.
                [G]
look what I've done
         [D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D] (Fade out)

D# is generally played as the 678 in the [MainRiffChords], but D#5 works. everythin else 
power chords part from the chorus. which i find best playing at open chords
