         G#m                 E
Bury me standing under your window
           F#              E
With this cinder block in hand
            G#m               E
Yeah 'cause no one will ever feel
           F#    E
Like this again
      G#m       E
And if I could move, I'm sure it would
F#           E           G#m
Only be to crawl back to you
            F#/A#               E
I must have dragged my guts a block
They were gone by the time we (talked)

Chorus:
G#m   E                F#          E
Whoa want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
G#m  F#/A#              E
You know that I could crush you with my voice
G#m   E                F#          E
Whoa want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
G#m  F#/A#              E
You know that I could crush you with my voice

      E                B      C#  D# E
Stood on my roof and tried to see you
forgetting about me
Hide the details I don't want
to know a thing

I hate the way you say my name
Like it's something secret
My pen is the barrel of the gun
Remind me which side you should be on

Chorus

Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details I don't want to know a thing

I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my
One, two, three, four!

Chorus
