I Hate This Town Chords & Lyrics by John Grant
I Hate This Town
guitar chords lyrics
NOTES - During the chorus, play G the second way I have posted below as it makes
for an easier chord change.
Also! Don't mix up Gmaj7 and G7. There's a subtle difference in them but
you notice it when playing along to the song. Good luck! :)

G C Dm F
Horrifying as it was for me to see your face today,
C Bb F
I guess I knew that it would happen at some point.
G C Dm F
And I dreaded it because I knew, That you would be so kind.
C Bb F
You're good at that; you've got it right down to a science.
G D
So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books of etiquette
F C
And tell me you hope I enjoy my stay.
G D F
And I feel numb, and I can't believe that I was stupid enough to leave my bed today.
C D
If I'm so smart, then why is this happening?
G
You know I hate this fucking town,
Gmaj7
You cannot even leave your fucking house,
C G Gmaj7
Without running into someone who no longer cares about you.
G
Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
G7
But you know it's only going to cause more grief,
C
But there is nothing left to say,
F D
And he can't hear you anyway.
Instrumental - G C Dm F
C Bb F
G C Dm F C
It's so confusing 'cause I really want To hate you, but my intellect reminds me
Bb F
That that doesn't make no sense.
G C Dm F
And I wanted to be your friend but I couldn't pull it off in the end.
C Bb F
And I'm disappointed with myself because I thought I could.
G D
But then again you always made it clear that you do not care either way
F C
Which begs the question; "How can I still claim to love you?"
G D
You told me time and time again that you don't lose you always win
F C D
And that to make an effort would just be beneath you.
G
You know I hate this fucking town,
Gmaj7
You cannot even leave your fucking house,
C G Gmaj7
Without running into someone who no longer cares about you.
G
Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
G7
But you know it's only going to cause more grief,
C
But there is nothing left to say,
F D
And he can't hear you anyway.
Instrumental - [Repeat chorus]
G C Dm F
Now, I'm packing my bags again and you are not inside of them.
