[Verse 1]

G              Bm
We started a fire
          C                      D
That was never supposed to burn out
G              Bm
You started a band
          C                         D
That was cool for a while, but it turned pretty bland
G            Bm
I started a fight
        C                          D
With a neighbor next door and his pesky wife
G              Bm
You started a job
          C                           D                          C
That you hate when you’re sober, and hate even more when you’re not.

[Chorus]

C     D          G   D  Em     D     C
And I know, you hate me too;
            D
You always say you do.

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]

G              Bm
You moved to Japan
           C                          D                          G
Thought a clean bill of health and a camera could show you the plan
            Bm
I bought a bird
       C                            D                         G
That repeats what I say, but, “I’m lonely” is all that he’s heard.
             Bm
You found a guy
          C                      D                     G
That is clearly the opposite of me, with a black motorbike
          Bm
I dicked around
          C                       D                       C
But it’s just like a movie whose picture is off with the sound.


[Chorus]

C     D          G   D  Em     D     C
And I know, you hate me too;
            D
You always say you do.

[Verse 3]

G                Bm
You started to write
        C                         D                   G
It was subtle at first, but the danger was clearly in sight
          Bm
I don’t reply
        C                   D                        G
Due to lack of an ego, and laziness, it cuts like a knife
                     Bm
You say that you’re good
      C                     D                     G
Had a baby with biker, and named him “Forest Whitaker”
            Bm
I’m laying low
         C                      D                      C
On the probable chance you convince me to give him a home


[Chorus]


C     D          G   D  Em     D     C
And I know, you hate me too;
            D         G
You always say you do.
       D         G   D  Em     D     C
And I know, you hate me too;
            D         G
You always say you do.
