Capo on 4.
[Intro]
G Bm C D
G Bm C D
[Verse 1]
G Bm
We started a fire
C D
That was never supposed to burn out
G Bm
You started a band
C D
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
G Bm
I started a fight
C D
With a neighbor next door and his pesky wife
G Bm
You started a job
C D C
That you hate when you’re sober, and hate even more when you’re not.
[Chorus]
C D G D Em D C
And I know, you hate me too;
D
You always say you do.
[Bridge]
G Bm C D
[Verse 2]
G Bm
You moved to Japan
C D G
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan
Bm
I bought a bird
C D G
That repeats what I say, but, “I’m lonely” is all that he’s heard.
Bm
You found a guy
C D G
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike
Bm
I dicked around
C D C
But it’s just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.
[Chorus]
C D G D Em D C
And I know, you hate me too;
D
You always say you do.
[Bridge]
G Bm C D
G Bm C D
[Verse 3]
G Bm
You started to write
C D G
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly in sight
Bm
I don’t reply
C D G
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
Bm
You say that you’re good
C D G
Had a baby with biker, and named him “Forest Whitaker”
Bm
I’m laying low
C D C
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home
[Chorus]
C D G D Em D C
And I know, you hate me too;
D G
You always say you do.
D G D Em D C
And I know, you hate me too;
D G
You always say you do.
[Outro]
