Tuning: Standard
 
The guitar starts about half-way when the mother is talking. It's extremely silent,
have to turn the volume up a bit if you can't hear it.
 
I've put everything in order: Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus. No need
scroll back up.
 
It's my first tab, and I do take critizism well, so don't hold back.

Verse 1 Lyrics:
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They're crawling like a cochroack leaving leaving babys in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
To remind me that I'm along
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
And there's a burning in my pride
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of pieces, all I want from you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me
It is I you wanna...
 
 
CHORUS:
 
GUITAR 1:
Chords 3 and 4 switch faster than normal. Listen to the song.

Verse 1 Lyrics:
I'm sober now for three whole months
That's one accomplishment that ya helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way
I wanna thank you for holding my head up, late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes to leave me behind

Chorus Lyrics:
Hate me today,
Hate me tomarrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally
See what's good for you.

Bridge Lyrics:
And with a sad heart I saw bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Til I saw your blue eyes cry, and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling "Make it go away!"
Just make her smile come back and shine
Just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How could you do this to me?"

Silent. The violin kicks in.
 
Chorus Lyrics:
Hate me today,
Hate me tomarrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally
See what's good for you.
