Chords for Blue October "Hate Me"

_ _ _ _ _ I have to go there.
_ Life's good, man. _ _
You know, we all go through stuff.
_ _ And I was going to tell the story through the journey of the songs today, so I'll tell
a little bit now and through each one of the songs it'll gradually grow.
_ _ We all go through stuff in life, you know.
I've had depression my whole life.
I take
medication for it.
I've, you know, _ I dabbled in things that got a hold of me, got their
claws in me, and I didn't know how to stop.
And, _ _ you know, divorce, custody, things like
that.
You know, things happen in life.
_ At times I didn't treat it right or heal in the
right way, but I always had music to _ _ express myself and where I might have been at that
certain time.
_ _ So _ _ _ I would have to say probably after I was
I wrote that song for that young lady that was living on her couch, right?
_ _ That's when
Blue October kind of started, like, I guess people liked us, you know, or started buying
our albums and stuff.
And with that comes like this big ego that I'm sure some of you
met a while back, _ _ especially you.
_ _ _ And, _ _ you know, I look back at it now and I believe
everything happens for a reason, but, you know, I treated people like dirt and _ _ just
thought, you know, that I was just the bomb.
_ _ _ But, _ you know, it's funny because the song
Calling You that I wrote for, her name was Mamie.
_ The song Calling You that I wrote for,
when we started getting big, I just like broke her heart.
I was like, peace, I don't need
you, I'm Justin Furstenfeld. _
You know?
_ So it was funny because the next single that
we put out was an apology letter to her.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [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.
An [Em] ounce of peace is all I want for you.
Will you never
call again?
[G] And [C] never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face.
And [Am] never try to
reach me.
It is I that wanted space. _ _ _ _ _
Hate me today.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ Hate me [Em] tomorrow. _
_ _ _ _ _ Hate me so [C] you
can finally see what's good [G] for you.
_ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ And I'm sober now for three whole months.
It's one
accomplishment that you helped me with.
The [Em] one thing that always tore us apart.
It's
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 suicide or hate.
[D] You made me
[Em] compliment myself when it was way too hard to take.
So I'll [C] drive so far away that I
never cross your mind. _
And [Am] do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Hate
me [G] today.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hate [Em] me tomorrow. _ _ _
_ _ _ Hate me [C] for all the things [D] I didn't do _ [Em] for you. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hate [G] me in
a way. _ _ _ _
_ You know the way's [Em] hard to swallow.
_ _ _ You gotta hate me [C] so you can finally [D] see what's
good _ [G] for you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] And with a sad [Am] heart I say bye [D] to you anyway.
_ _ I'm [G] kicking shadows on the
street [E] for every mistake that I [Em] made.
_ [A] And like a baby boy I [Am] never knew how to [D] be a man.
_ _ [G] Till I saw your blue eyes cry and [Em] I held your [Em] face in my hand. _
[A] And then I fell [Am] down yelling
make it [D] go away.
Could you please bring back her smile?
Make it shine [Em] like it used to be. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] And that's when she whispered.
She said how can you do this to [D] me? _ _
_ _ [A] _ And I said hate [G] me
today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Hate [Em] me tomorrow. _ _
_ _ _ Hate [C] me for all the things [G] [D] I didn't do [Em]
for you. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hate [G] me in a way. _ _ _
_ You know the way's [Em] hard to swallow.
_ _ _ _ Hate me [C] so you can finally [D] see what's good _ [G] for you.
_ _ And that's when [D] I looked at her and I said now it's [Em] all for you. _
I said I swear from
here on out this is [C] all for you.
_ [D] _ _
I said this is all [G] for you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ What?
What?
Did you see the tears?
I saw tears out for some of these people.
Were you crying? _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] It's okay boo.
It's okay.
Salt Lake loves you.
You know that.
I love Salt Lake. _
