1.
I hate myself for lovin' you,
and the weakness that it showed,
Bm
Em Bm F#m
you
were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road.
G Bm Em
The
stage was set, the lights went out all around the old hotel,
G C G Am Em
I hate myself for
lovin' you, and I'm glad the curtain fell.
+ Em - Am - Em - Am

Em - Bm Em
2. I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed
Bm Em - Bm F#m
and
the mercy that you showed to me,
whoever would have guessed.
G Bm Em
I
went out on Lower Broadway, and I felt that place within,
G C G Am Em
that hollow place
where martyrs weep and angels play with sin.
+ Em - Am - Em - Am
Bm Em - Bm Em
3.
Heard your songs of freedom
and man forever stripped,
Bm
Em Bm F#m
acting
out his folly, while his back is being whipped.
G
Bm Em
Like
a slave in orbit he's beaten 'til he's tame,
G
C G Am
Em
all for a moment's
glory, and it's a dirty, rotten shame.

4. There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them,
Bm Em - Bm F#m
in
this age of fiberglass I'm
searching for a gem.
G
Bm Em
The
crystal ball up on the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet,
G C G
Am Em
I've
paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt.

5.
Can't recall a useful thing
you ever did for me,
Bm
Em - Bm F#m
'cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees.
G
Bm Em
We
stared into each other's eyes, till one of us would break,
G C G - Am Em
no use to apologize,
what difference would it make ?
+ Em - Am - Em - Am (2x)
Bm Em Bm Em
6. So sing your praise of progress and of the
Doom Machine,
Bm
Em Bm F#m
the
naked truth is still taboo, whenever it can be seen.
G
Bm Em
Lady
Luck who shines on me will tell you where I'm at,
G
C G Am
Em
I
hate myself for lovin' you but I should get over that.
+ Em - Am - Em - Am (2x)
+ repeat verse 6 as instrumental and
fade….
