[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][D#][A#]
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!
[MainRiffChords] x4
[D][D#][A#]
How I hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
these dirty words I emulate
[D][D#][A#]
How i hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
ruining what I create
[D][D#][A#][A]
How I hate this
(and I hate that you don't fall for it)
[MainRiffChords]
- this sinner's serenade
[D][D#][A#]
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# 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
