Chords for Blue October "Hate Me" Acoustic Version

_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
[E] They crawl in like a cockroach, [Em] leaving babies in my bed
_ [C] Dropping little rails of tape to remind me that I'm alone
And [Am] playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
[G] There's a burning [D] in my pride, a [G] nervous bleeding in my brain
An [Em] ounce of peace is all I want for you, will you never call again?
And will [C] you never say that you love me, just to put it in my face?
[A] And will you never try [Am] to reach me, it is I that want it's space _ _ _
Hate me [D] today, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] hate me tomorrow _ _ _
Hate me so [C] you can finally [D] see what's good [G] for [D] you
_ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ And I'm sober now for three whole [G] months, it's one [D] accomplishment that you helped me with
[Em] The 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 [F#] for holding my head up [C] late at night
[Am] While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You [G] never doubted my warped [D] 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 far away that I'll never cross your mind
[Am] And do whatever it takes in your heart, you gotta leave me behind
_ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] So hate me [D] today, _
_ [G] _ you gotta hate me [Em] tomorrow
_ Hate _ me for [C] all the things [D] I didn't do [Em] for you
_ Hate _ me in [D]
ways, _ _ it weighs [Em] hard to swallow
_ _ _ Hate me [C] so you can finally [D] see what's good for you
And _ _ _ [Am] with a sad heart I say bye to you [D] and wave
_ Now I'm [G] kicking shadows on the street for [Em] every mistake that I made
[A] And like a baby boy I never knew how to [D] be a man
_ [G] Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I [Em] held your face in my hand
And [A] then I fell down yelling make it [D] go away
Please bring [Gm] back her smile, make it shine [E] like it [Em] used to be
And _ [Dm] that's when [Am] she whispered, how can you do this [D] to me?
_ _ _ _ And I said, [E] hate [G] me today, _ _ _ [D] you have to hate me [Em] tomorrow _ _ _ _
Hate me for [C] all the things [D] I didn't do for you
[Em] _ Hate _ _ [G] me in _ ways, _ you know the ways that are hard [Em] to swallow _ _ _
Hate me [C] so you can finally [D] see what's good [G] for [D] you
Cause _ _ now this is all [Em] for you
From here on out, I said this is [C] all for you
_ _ [D] _
I said this is [G] all for you
_ [D] _ _ _
