Lyrics

And I (F)hate

to say I (Dm)love you,

when it’s (F)so

hard for (Dm)me.

And I (F)hate er

to say

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

(F)way.

And I’d (F)hate

to say I (Dm)need you,

I’m so re (F)li ant.

I’m so de (Am)pen dent.

I’m such a (Dm)fool.

When you’re

not there,

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.
