C             C          G           C
Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
F            F           F           C
My vacations ending. I'm coming home late.
F               G            C         Am
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
      C             G       F        F
and I can't wait to see you again.
 
C              C          G          C
Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
F              F          F          C
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
F              G            C        Am
I barely even noticed that you were away.
      C            G         F       F
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."
 
C              C          G                C
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
F              F              F               C
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
F             G           C            Am
and everyone knows it whenever she flies,
     C         G          F       F
and also when she comes down.
 
C               C            G                 C
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
F            F      F            C
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
F                     G       C         Am
and shakes hands with every loner he meets
  C              G          F     F
with a serious look on his face.
 
 C             C             G         C
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
F            F          F             C
Carrying with her the good things we know.
F             g          C          Am
a reason to live and a reason to grow.
C            G           F      F
To trust. To hope. To care.
 
C           C            G          C
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
F             F             F           C
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
F           G       C          Am
Lazily killing the last of a jar
C                  G             F      F
of the strongest stuff you can drink.
 
C               C       G          C
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
F              F           F           C
as soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
F               G               C          Am
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
C                      G        F    F
cause he might never see her again.
 
C                  C      G       C
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
F                   F            F          C
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
F                G            C   Am
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
C                    G            F      F
Fnd the clock in the kitchen is slow.
 
C               C         G         C
Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
F                   F           F          C
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
F                      G                C         Am
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
    C               G           F      F
Will make it back safe to her arms.
 
C              C            G           C
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
F           F      F         C
Weary head hung, eyes to the floor.
F                   G            C             Am
He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?
C               G          F           F
I'm yours and that's it, Whatever.
 
  F               G    C           Am
I should not have been gone for so long.
    C                 G   F          F
I'm your's and that's it, forever."
       C               G   F         F
You're mine and that's it, forever.
