Verse 2
(C major) Hate reads the letter and (G major) throws it away (C major)
(F major) "No one here cares if you go or you (C major) stay
I (F major) barely even (G major) noticed
that (C major) you were a (A minor) way
I'll (C major) see you or I (G major) won't, what (F major) ever"
Verse 3
(C major) Love sings a song
as she sails (G major) through the (C major) sky
The (F major) water looks bluer
through her pretty eyes (C major)
And (F major) everyone knows (G major) it when (C major) ever she (A minor) flies
And (C major) also (G major) when she comes down (F major)
Verse 4
(C major) Hate keeps his head up
and (G major) walks through the (C major) street
(F major) Every stranger and drifter he (C major) greets
And (F major) shakes hands
with every (G major) (C major) loner he (A minor) meets
With a (C major) serious (G major) look on his (F major) face
Verse 5
(C major) Love arrives safely with (G major) suitcase in (C major) tow
(F major) Carrying with her the good things we know (C major)
A (F major) reason to live (G major) and a (C major) reason to grow (A minor)
To (C major) trust, to (G major) hold, to (F major) care
Verse 6
(C major) Hate sits alone on the (G major) hood of his (C major) car
With (F major) out much regard to the moon or the (C major) stars
(F major) Lazily killing (G major) the (C major) last of a jar (A minor)
Of the (C major) strongest (G major) stuff you can (F major) drink
Verse 7
(C major) Love takes a taxi, a (G major) young man (C major) drives
As (F major) soon he sees her hope fills his eyes (C major)
But (F major) tears follow after (G major)
at the (C major) end of the ride (A minor)
'Cause he (C major) might never (G major) see her again (F major)
Verse 8
(C major) Hate gets home lucky to (G major) still be a (C major) live
He (F major) screams over the sidewalk
and into the (C major) drive
The (F major) clock in the kitchen (G major)
says (C major) two fifty five (A minor)
And the (C major) clock in the (G major) kitchen is (F major) slow
Verse 9
(C major) Love has been waiting (G major) patient and (C major) kind
Just (F major) wanting a phone call
or some kind of (C major) sign
That the (F major) one that she cares (G major) for
who's (C major) out of his (A minor) mind
Will (C major) make it back (G major) safe to her arms (F major)
Verse 10
(C major) Hate stumbles forward and (G major) leans in the door (C major)
(F major) Weary head hung down, eyes to the (C major) floor
He (F major) says, "Love, I'm sorry," (G major)
and (C major) she says, "What (A minor) for?
I'm (C major) yours and that's (G major) it, what (F major) ever
I should not have been (G major) gone (C major) for so (A minor) long
I'm (C major) yours and that's it, (G major) for (F major) ever
Your (C major) mine and that's it, (G major) for (F major) ever
