             I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO
                     JASON DeVORE
INTRO:
D  Em  G  D
D  Em  G  D
VERSE:
PDictures and prison cells
Painted on the walls
This Emempty room, I toss and turn
With wonders of what's gone to soon.
And wGhat's the big deal anyway?
I can't say that I care.
So we phDotograph a landscape
Of what's never really there
VERSE:
So mDany thoughts of what is real,
Display an awful curse
AnEmother pen gone dry
Another line for one last shitty verse
So tGell me what's been on your mind
I'll filter out the rest
And Don and on, and on we go
Let's chase our dreams at last
CHORUS:
I hEmate to say I told you so,
I hAate to say, I said, I sDaidD  
So mEmany times I told you so,
Please tAell me what you think is lDeftD  
HeyEm  A  G  D  
VERSE:
And Dso I spend my days in prison cells
Locked up behind disguises
Just pEmlay it safe, no-one gets hurt
Just keep it bent inside
Yeah, SGave for the experience,
For the others as they snidely squirm,
And oDne day you'll seek your revenge,
With all that you have learned.
VERSE:
QDuickly, now, theres no time left,
Just jagged little girl
And the whEmeels fall off, we'll take it faster
Faster than we've ever turned
I hGear my heart-beat in my head,
Let's take this fucker down.
I tDold you that its now or never,
And never come around.
CHORUS:
And I hEmate to say I told you so,
I hAate to say, I said, I sDaidD  
So mEmany times I told you so,
Please tAell me what you think is lDeftD  
BREAK:
Hey!C  
Gotta move on
Gotta keep on
GGotta keep wrong
Woh oh oh Doh
Gotta hold on
Gotta keep on
Gotta be strong
Hey hey yCeah
Gotta get it on
Gotta hold on
GGotta go on
Woh oh oh Doh
Gotta get on

Woh, oh wCake me up, wGake me once agDain.

Painted on these walls
Of this Emempty room, I toss and turn
With wonders of what's gone to soon.
And whGat's the big deal anyway?

I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO

JASON DeVORE

INTRO:

D Em G D

VERSE:

Pictures and prison cells

Painted on the walls

This empty room, I toss and turn

With wonders of what's gone to soon.

And what's the big deal anyway?

I can't say that I care.

So we photograph a landscape

Of what's never really there

VERSE:

So many thoughts of what is real,

Display an awful curse

Another pen gone dry

Another line for one last shitty verse

So tell me what's been on your mind

I'll filter out the rest

And on and on, and on we go

Let's chase our dreams at last

CHORUS:

I hate to say I told you so,

A D D

I hate to say, I said, I said

So many times I told you so,

A D D

Please tell me what you think is left

Em A G D

Hey

VERSE:

And so I spend my days in prison cells

Locked up behind disguises

Just play it safe, no-one gets hurt

Just keep it bent inside

Yeah, Save for the experience,

For the others as they snidely squirm,

And one day you'll seek your revenge,

With all that you have learned.

VERSE:

Quickly, now, theres no time left,

Just jagged little girl

And the wheels fall off, we'll take it faster

Faster than we've ever turned

I hear my heart-beat in my head,

Let's take this fucker down.

I told you that its now or never,

And never come around.

CHORUS:

And I hate to say I told you so,

A D D

I hate to say, I said, I said

So many times I told you so,

A D D

Please tell me what you think is left

BREAK:

Hey!

Gotta move on

Gotta keep on

Gotta keep wrong

Woh oh oh oh

Gotta hold on

Gotta keep on

Gotta be strong

Hey hey yeah

Gotta get it on

Gotta hold on

Gotta go on

Woh oh oh oh

Gotta get on

Now hold on

Gotta grow on

Hey hey hey

G D

Oh, wake me up, wake me once again.

C G D

Oh, wake me up, this is not the end

C G D

Woh, oh wake me up, wake me once again.

(I hate to say I told you so)

C G D

Oh, wake me up, this is not the end?

OUTRO:

D Em G D

Pictures and prison cells

Painted on these walls

Of this empty room, I toss and turn

With wonders of what's gone to soon.

And what's the big deal anyway?

I can't say that I care.
