  Six o'clock in the morning
  My head is ready to explode
  I can't believe I made it home alive
  I don't remember where I went
  Or what I was drinking
  But I know its made me sick
  And i'm not denying
  That I get this way
  When I try to get over you
  I get this way
  When I try to get over you...
  DSometimes it hurtsBb  
  So much to losGe the one you loveA  
  DSometimes it hurtsBb  
  So much to losGe the one you loveA  
  I try so hard to hate you
  But it only makes things worse
  I only end up hating myself
  And as my hatred goes
  So do the lies
  It's hard to face the truth sometimes
  God I feel so useless
  God I hate myself
  When I try to get over you
  I hate myself
  How will I ever get over you
  DSometimes it hurtsBb  
  So much to losGe the one you loveA  
  DSometimes it hurtsBb  
  So much to losGe the one you loveA  
  And after all this time
  You'd think I'd understand the way you feel
  but no
  I only think about myselfD  E  
  FAnd its Gdriving you awayBb  
  AI always knew it would one day
  DSometimes it hurtsBb  
  So much to losGe the one you loveA

  So much to losGe the one you loveA
