I Hate The Way

Polly Scattergood


Tom: G

Em                                     G
I hate the way I cry when you say you miss me
D                                     C
But I love the way you hold me when I sleep
Em                                     G
I hate the way I bleed each time you kiss me
C                 D                           G
But you say "Hey, sleeping beauty, go back to sleep."

[Chorus]
       Em            G
We had pennies in our pockets
D      C
We had hope in our eyes
         Am                 C                  Em
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces
   C         Em          G
So why'd you put on that disguise?"
G                                        Em
Well, take what you want 'cos I have got nothing
Em                       C
Pass me some pills, I'll go to bed
     Am                      D
But, however much I toss and turn
C                      G
I feel a dark place up ahead

[Verse 2]
Em                                G
Some nights I just sit back here, I remember
G
I just remember
Em                                    C
He said "Not all men are bad and I am not like your dad
C                                               D
And I will hold you even though you're slightly mad
C                                G
Cos I am not a man who will ever break you."

[Chorus]
       Em             G
We had pennies in our pockets
D      C
We had hope in our eyes
         Am                 C                  Em
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces
   C         Em          G
So why'd you put on that disguise?"
G                                        Em
Well, take what you want 'cos I have got nothing
Em                       C
Pass me some pills, I'll go to bed
     Am                      D
But, however much I toss and turn
C                      G
I feel a dark place up ahead
C              Am    G
Do do do do do do do do do
Em                         D            Em
My doctor says I've got to sing a happy tune
C              Am    G
Do do do do do do do do do
G                 C                D
A do do do but my body gave up too soon
C              Am    G
Do do do do do do do do do
NC
You know what?
D
I am just fine until I'm on my own
C              Am    G
Do do do do do do do do do
G              C                       G
An do do do do oh somebody please come home

[Verse 3]
Em *                               G*
I hate the way I tremble when you touch me
              C *                        G*
You're like a needle slowly piercing my skin
Em*               G
I hate the way my stomach aches
G                       Em
and I really hate these loveless mistakes
Em                                 G
Cos' I'm screaming for my rock who never picks up
G                     Eb
Why do you never pick up?

[Verse 4]
       Em             G
We had pennies in our pockets
D      C
We had hope in our eyes
         Am                 C                  Em
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces
   C         Em          G
So why'd you put on that disguise?"
G                                        Em
Well, take what you want 'cos I have got nothing

[Outro]
N.C.           Em*               C*
Pass me some pills, I'll go to bed
     Am *                     D*
But, however much I toss and turn
C *                     G*
I feel a dark place up ahead
C *             Am*    G*
Do do do do do do do do do
N.C.                         D*           G* (let ring)
My doctor says I've got to sing a happy tune
