I Would Hate You If I Could

G
I hear you’ve been telling all your friends that you’re done with me
         Em                                C
Like you always knew things wouldn’t work out. And I’ve been
G
hearing things from people that I don’t want to talk to,
        Em                                C
Like it matters who you’re sleeping with now.
        G
Can I erase from my mind anything that you said or
    Em                              C
any time that we spent with each other?
G
I don’t want to waste away another cell on a memory
            Em                          C
When you’re just another meaningless lover.

   G
Forget the nights that we spent laughing
          C
Until the morning on your bedroom floor
    Em                                                C
Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall.
G                                  C
  Forget the days we’d waste in bed, tangled,
                              Em
The smoke still on your breath,
Em                                    C
  Undressed and pinning you up to the wall.

      G                                    Em            C
And I swore I heard you talking when I was tossing in my sleep.
          G                                Em       C
You were always trying to walk in circles around me.
I was out one night when I saw you and you froze me where I stood.
I would hate you, I would hate you if I could.

   G
Forget the nights that we spent laughing
          C
Until the morning on your bedroom floor
    Em                                                C
Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall.
G                                  C
  Forget the days we’d waste in bed, tangled,
                              Em
The smoke still on your breath,
Em                                    C
  Undressed and pinning you up to the wall.

C    Am G
C    G Am
C
  I would hate you
Am            G
  but I’m not finished yet.
C
  I would hate you
G             Am
  but I’m not finished yet.
C                      Am       G              C
  Even you, up on that pedestal, the time will come when you
          G                   Am
will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are.
C                       Am         G
  When it does you’ll remember me
        C
and the words I spoke
           G            Am                    C
And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far.
                     Am       G              C
Even you, up on that pedestal, the time will come when you
          G                   Am
will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are.
C                       Am         G
  When it does you’ll remember me
        C
and the words I spoke
           G            Am                    C
And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far.
