And I (F)hate er

I want you,
when you (F)make it so clear
you don’t want (Dm)me.
I’d nev er (Dm)ask you, ’cause deep down I’m (C)cer tain I know what you’d (F)say.
You’d say I’m sor ry, be lieve me, I (C)love you but not

And I’d (F)hate
to say I (Dm)need you,
I’m so re (F)li ant.

I’m such a (Dm)fool.
When you’re

I (F)find my self sing ing the (Bb)blues.
Can’t bear,
can’t face the (C)truth.
You
will (Dm)way.
You’d say I’m (Bb)sor ry, be lieve me, I (C)love you but not in that (F)way.
