  It's just another point of view, oooh.
E            A              D        B
  A state of mind I'm going through, yes.

  That thing called hate, and that thing called love.
C                Dm   D        G      B
  What makes the in-between so rough? ahhh.
E           A               D      B

  I guess I just don't know enough, yes.
