"Hate Me"
Blue October

Intro:

G   Em   C   D

G
I have to block out thoughts of you

so I dont 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
D
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
And ounce of peace is all I want for you

Will you never call again

C
And will you never say that you loved me

Just to put it in my face
D
Will you never try to reach me

It is I that wanted space

         G
Hate Me today
         Em
Hate me tomorrow
            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 that I won't touch again

C
In a sick way I want to thank you

For holding my head up late at night
D
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 suicide or 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
D
And do whatever it takes in your heart

To leave me behind

        G
Hate Me today
        Em
Hate me tomorrow
            C
Hate me for all the things
    D         Em
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

           C                               D
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
             G                               Em
I'm kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
       C                      D
And like a baby boy I never was a man
       G                                     Em
Til I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand

          C                             D
And then I found I'm yelling make it go away
             G                                  Em
just make a smile come back and let it shine just like it used to be
         C                                      D
And then she whispered "how can you do this to me?"

        G
Hate Me today
        Em
Hate me tomorrow
             C
Hate me for all the things
   D            Em
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
