[Intro]
[F#m] [E] [A]

[F#m]I hate the way [E]you say my name
[A]I hate your [F#m]picture-perfect lips on mine
[E]If I could, [A]I'd cut the breaks
[F#m]I hate that I can't [E]help but stay all night
[A]When you look at me, [F#m]I'll have to turn my face
[E]If I look too [A]long, I'll never look away
[F#m]Babe, I wasn't praying [E]for a saving grace
[A]Unfold your fingers, let's [F#m]go back to nothing
[E]And I hate the way I [A]say words that I laughed at before
[F#m]And I hate the way my [E]thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours
[A]Look at what you've [F#m]created, something borderline sacred
[E]I call it overrated, go [A]on and call me jaded
[F#m]'Cause I hate the way I [E]say words that I laughed at before
[A]♪
[F#m]You think you're [E]cool when you pretend
[A]That I'm not always [F#m]in your head (don't lie)
[E]Your favourite [A]game is self-defense
[F#m]I dare you to [E]give it a rest sometimes
[A]When you look at me, [F#m]I'll have to turn my face
[E]If I look too [A]long, I'll never look away
[F#m]Babe, I wasn't praying' [E]for a saving grace
[A]Unfold your fingers, let's [F#m]go back to nothing
[E]And I hate the way I [A]say words that I laughed at before
[F#m]And I hate the way my [E]heart isn't mine, now it's yours
[A]Look at what you've [F#m]created, something borderline sacred
[E]I call it overrated, go [A]on and call me jaded
[F#m]'Cause I hate the way my [E]heart isn't mine, now it's yours
[A]♪
[F#m]And I hate the way I [E]say words that I laughed at before
[A]And I hate the way my [F#m]thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours
[E]Look at what you've [A]created, something borderline sacred
[F#m]I call it overrated, go [E]on and call me jaded
[A]'Cause I hate the way my [F#m]heart isn't mine, now it's yours
