[Verse 1]
GI hear you’ve been telling all your friends that you’re done with me 
Like you Emalways knew things wouldn’t work oCut. And I’ve been
Ghearing things from people that I don’t want to talk to, 
Like it Emmatters who you’re sleeping with nCow. 
Can I erGase from my mind anything that you said or 
any Emtime that we spent with each othCer?
GI don’t want to waste away another cell on a memory 
When you’re Emjust another meaningless lovCer. 
[Chorus]
ForGget the nights that we spent laughing 
Until the Cmorning on your bedroom floor 
WithEmout a thought about your roommate asleep down the Chall. 
  GForget the days we’d waste in bedC, tangled, 
The smoke still on your breathEm, 
  EmUndressed and pinning you up to the Cwall. 
[Verse 2]
And I Gswore I heard you talking when I was Emtossing in my Csleep. 
You were aGlways trying to walk in circles aEmround me. C  
I was out one night when I saw you and you froze me where I stood. 
I would hate you, I would hate you if I could. 
[Chorus]
ForGget the nights that we spent laughing 
Until the Cmorning on your bedroom floor 
WithEmout a thought about your roommate asleep down the Chall. 
  GForget the days we’d waste in bedC, tangled, 
The smoke still on your breathEm, 
  EmUndressed and pinning you up to the Cwall. 
[Outro]
C    Am G
C    G Am
  CI would hate you 
  Ambut I’m not Gfinished yet. 
  CI would hate you 
  Gbut I’m not Amfinished yet.
  CEven you, up on that Ampedestal, Gthe time will Ccome when you 
will deconGstruct yourself and Amremake what you are. 
  CWhen it does you’ll reAmmember me G  
and the Cwords I spoke 
And wonder Ghow you ever Amcould have strayed so Cfar.
Even you, up on that Ampedestal, Gthe time will Ccome when you 
will deconGstruct yourself and Amremake what you are. 
  CWhen it does you’ll reAmmember me G  
and the Cwords I spoke 
And wonder Ghow you ever Amcould have strayed so Cfar.

[Verse 1]

I hear you’ve been telling all your friends that you’re done with me

Em C

Like you always knew things wouldn’t work out. And I’ve been

hearing things from people that I don’t want to talk to,

Em C

Like it matters who you’re sleeping with now.

Can I erase from my mind anything that you said or

Em C

any time that we spent with each other?

I don’t want to waste away another cell on a memory

Em C

When you’re just another meaningless lover.

[Chorus]

Forget the nights that we spent laughing

Until the morning on your bedroom floor

Em C

Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall.

G C

Forget the days we’d waste in bed, tangled,

The smoke still on your breath,

Em C

Undressed and pinning you up to the wall.

[Verse 2]

G Em C

And I swore I heard you talking when I was tossing in my sleep.

G Em C

You were always trying to walk in circles around me.

I was out one night when I saw you and you froze me where I stood.

I would hate you, I would hate you if I could.

[Chorus]

Forget the nights that we spent laughing

Until the morning on your bedroom floor

Em C

Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall.

G C

Forget the days we’d waste in bed, tangled,

The smoke still on your breath,

Em C

Undressed and pinning you up to the wall.

[Outro]

C Am G

C G Am

I would hate you

Am G

but I’m not finished yet.

I would hate you

G Am

but I’m not finished yet.

C Am G C

Even you, up on that pedestal, the time will come when you

G Am

will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are.

C Am G

When it does you’ll remember me

and the words I spoke

G Am C

And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far.

Am G C

Even you, up on that pedestal, the time will come when you

G Am

will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are.

C Am G

When it does you’ll remember me

and the words I spoke

G Am C

And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far.
