[Verse 1]
GYou said Nick Cave was your favourite guy
CI listened to his album, it made me cry
He was Gsinging about killing her
I was Cthinking about killing her
I Gwalked into your favourite bookstore
PrCetended I was browsing and nothing more
But I was hGoping I'd see you with her
I was Chopin' I'd see you with her
And I Gmay be obsessed with puppies and dogs
But it Chelps me from feeling depressed all the time
'Cause you only Gcall me, at four in the mCorning
[Chorus]
EmI don't hate her
CI hate you
GIts not her fault

[Verse 1]

You said Nick Cave was your favourite guy

I listened to his album, it made me cry

He was singing about killing her

I was thinking about killing her

I walked into your favourite bookstore

Pretended I was browsing and nothing more

But I was hoping I'd see you with her

I was hopin' I'd see you with her

And I may be obsessed with puppies and dogs

But it helps me from feeling depressed all the time

G C

'Cause you only call me, at four in the morning

[Chorus]

I don't hate her

I hate you

Its not her fault

This ones on you

And if you don't love her

Honestly

Then let her know

So its not on me

A vegan is what I pretended to be

Even got me a job at Mrs Flannery's

G C

Just so I could be the girl of your dreams

And then I went on your facebook

To see if you're single

C G

And accidentally liked something from 400 weeks ago

I'm so embarrassed

I played my first show and I saw you there

I got so nervous I fell off my chair

Why did you bring her

Why did you bring her there

[Chorus]

I don't hate her

I hate you

Its not her fault

This ones on you

And if you don't love her

Honestly

Then let her know
