Hate Me

[Listening to..Blue October - Hate Me]

---

About 6-7 months ago...I first heard this song during an exceedingly tumultuous time in my then rship.

Everything fit so well. Really loved it to bits. Been meaning to figure out the guitar chords myself. Of course, sometimes, when I want quick wins, I just go and search for the damn chords online, but, if I really like the song, I will try to first figure it out on my own. Its just so much more meaningful, satisfying and nicer when I do figure it out. But I've never gotten round to doing it for Hate Me. But just now, after hearing a dear friend's heartfelt outpouring of his sorrows...when I got home.. I was inspired to pick up the 'tar and figure it out. Here it is...the fruits of 30 mins of labor..(searched for the lyrics online heh SOME cheating is ok dont b so strict)

Blue October - Hate Me - Transcribed by Alex

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
