G
I have to block out thoughts of you so
I don’t lose my head
      Em
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving
babies in my bed
          C
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me
that I’m alone
         Am
Playing movies in my head that make a porno
feel like home
           G
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous
bleeding in my brain
             Em
An ounce of peace is all I want for you;
will you never call again?
              C
And will you never say that you love me
just to put it in my face?
             Am
And will you never try to reach me;
It is I that wanted space

Chorus:
           G
Hate me today
          Em
Hate me tomorrow
            C                 D             Em
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
            G
Hate me in ways
           Em
Yeah ways hard to swallow
            C               D                   G
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months
It’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way, I want to thank you
for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself,
you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
on things like suicide and hate
You made me compliment myself when it
was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that
I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
to leave me behind

Chorus

           Am7                             D
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
          G                                Em
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake
that I had made
           Am7                     D
And like a baby boy I never was a man
         G
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and
            Em
I held your face in my hand
            Am7                            D
And then I fell down yelling ‘Make it go away!’
              G                                 Em
Just make a smile, come back and shine, like it used
to be
              Am7                                D
And then she whispered ‘How can you do this to me?’

Chorus

    Em
For you
     C D
For you
     G
For you

If you're sleeping, are you dreaming?
If you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me

Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
Hey, Justin!
