Bm                          D                    G E
Your words are pretty but I already know who you are
Bm                     D
I knew you before you met me long before we
       G  E
would part.
              Bm           D
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones.
            G                       E
Before you kissed me and buried my hope.
             G
Before you stole stole my spirit
                           Bm
and rode the show into the wall.

                D                 G              E
They shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you.
             Bm                     D
They let you in and you start to believe you're
     G          E
soft as a miracle.
Bm       D              G       E
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
             G            E
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping
     G     E
for paradise.

Chorus:
    Bm  A    E   G
Yeah I hate love.
    Bm  E    D   G
Yeah I hate love.
   Bm A    E  G
So I hate love.
     E  F#   G
Yeah I hate love.

Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies
Love promises nothing and then your love dies

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping
for paradise

Chorus

Bm D G E
        Then your love dies.
Bm D G E
        Then your love dies.
Bm D G E
        Then your love dies.
