C       Em
You started a fire
F                       G
That was never supposed to burn out
C       Em
You started a band
F                       G
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
C       Em
I started a fight
F                       G
With a neighbour next door and his pesky wife?
C       Em
You started a job
F                       G
That you hate when you’re sober, and hate even more when you’re not.
F       G      C    G      Am     G     F
And I know, you hate me too;
F               G      C
You always say you do.
 
C       Em
You moved to Japan
F                       G
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan
C       Em
I bought a bird
F                       G
That repeats what I say, but, “I’m lonely” is all that he’s heard.
C       Em
You found a guy
F                       G
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike
C       Em
I dicked around
F                       G
But it’s just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.
 
F       G      C    G      Am     G     F
And I know, you hate me too.....
F               G      C
You always say you do.
 
C       Em
You started to write
F                       G
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly inside
C       Em
I don’t reply 
F                       G
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
C       Em
You say that you’re good
F                       G
Had a baby with biker, and named him “Forest Whitaker”
C       Em
I’m laying low
F                       G
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home 
 
F       G      C    G      Am     G     F
And I know, you hate me too.............
F               G      C
You always say you do.
F       G      C    G      Am     G     F
And I know, you hate me too............
F               G      C
You always say you do.
