Hate Me by Blue October

Standard Tuning


{Verse 1} 
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  


{Chorus}
               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       
 
 
{Verse 2} 
     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  


{Chorus}
               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       
 

{Bridge} 
             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 just like it used to be  
             Am7                                D 
And then she whispered �How can you do this to me?� 
 

{Chorus}
                 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 
 
 
Note: In some versions of this song the first Chorus uses only the first 3 lines.
