Key: E

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
E  B  E  B F#m A B

Verse 1:
E
Phone turned down, front door locked
B
Just sitting here alone on the live talk
A
Hiding out with a six pack
     E         B            E
It's not strong enough to keep me from wanting you back
E

Trying to not be yours for the taking
B
But the power of your persuasion
A
Wears me down, makes me weak
E           B
Lately ain't been on a winning streak
   F#m     B
That needs to end
    A
So here I am

Pre-chorus 1:
 E                    B
I hate the way you smell like someone else's brand of cigarettes
 A                    E      B
I hate the way I know what I know inside, I just can't prove it yet

Chorus:
  E                   B         A
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
                  E
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
     F#m
Is that I hate the way you lie
   A               E  B A
But damn I love the way you apologize

Verse 2:
 E
I know right now, wherever you are
    B
You're probably talking to some girl in a bar
A
Buying time and making comeback plans
E          B
Thinking of a story I'll understand
       E
And then you show up here, and fall apart
B
Make it all about your broken heart
A
I'll fight you back the best I can
   E        B
For a little while, I think I'll win
     F#m
But they say this game
    A
Always ends the same

Pre-chorus 2:
 E               B
I hate the way that I always believe you when you say you've changed
 A                E         B
I hate the way that I always find out the truth the hard way

Chorus:
  E                   B         A
I'm moving on, I just haven't passed the point of no return
                  E
I swear sometimes it feels like the only thing I've learned
     F#m
Is that I hate the way you lie
   A                C#m
But damn I love the way you apologize

Bridge:
  E          A          E
All night, 'til there's sunlight through the curtains

And I tell myself it's okay 'cause no one's perfect

Is that I hate the way you lie
   A               E  B E   B  E
But damn I love the way you apologize
