Blue October – Hate Me (Guitar)

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?

             Am
And will you never try to reach me; It is I that wanted space

          G
Hate me today

          Em
Hate me tomorrow

             C                D             Em
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
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

     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

          G
Hate me today

          Em
Hate me tomorrow

             C                D             Em
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
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

           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, like it used to be

             Am7                                D
And then she whispered ‘How can you do this to me?’

          G
Hate me today

          Em
Hate me tomorrow

             C               D             Em
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
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

    Em
For you

    C     D
For you

    G
For you
