[Main Riff] x 3 (First Time jst the first bar)
[Silence]
Oh God, no -
[MainRiffJagger]
please don't tell her
what I've done
I can hardly look at her
everything I love, I hurt
[D][D#][A#]
Oh God, yes -
[MainRiffJagger]
she is love
she is sex
But I used her for the game,
A scapegoat to carry the blame
[D]             [D#LOUD]
for a hate song
[D]             [D#LOUD]
For a hate song
[D]                [D#LOUD]
It's like masochism - I hate
[D]
these hate songs
[D#LOUD]  [G]
Holding a dove
                    [D]
then clipping it's wings off
             [G]
Someone you love
                     [D]
and you give them the kiss off
           [G]
Someone to love - and you fuck it up!

[D][D#][A#]
How I hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
	these dirty words I emulate
[D][D#][A#]
How i hate
[Silence][MainRiffChords]
	ruining what I create
[D][D#][A#][A]
How I hate this
(and I hate that you don't fall for it)
[MainRiffChords]
- this sinner's serenade
[D][D#][A#]
This hate song (this self defecation)
[MainRiffChords]
isn't helping anyone
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]             [D#LOUD]
Save the sinner
[D]                    [D#LOUD]    [G]
He knows not what he's done to himself
                  [D]
What he's done to others
                [G]
He hides behind words
                [D]
he hides behind liquor
                 [G]
He hides in his bedroom with his guitar
          [D][D][D]
screaming,
[D#LOUD]
"Sinner!"
[MainRiff][D][D][D]
[D#LOUD]

Oh God, look what I've done

look what I've done
         [D]
