[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Love writes a letter and [G]sends it to [C]Hate
"My [F]vacation's ending, I'm coming home [C]late
The [F]weather was [G]fine
and the [C]ocean was [Am]great
And I [C]can't wait to [G]see you a[F]gain"

[Verse 2]
[C]Hate reads the letter and [G]throws it a[C]way
[F]"No one here cares if you go or you [C]stay
I [F]barely even [G]noticed
that [C]you were a[Am]way
I'll [C]see you or I [G]won't, what[F]ever"

[Verse 3]
[C]Love sings a song
as she [G]sails through the [C]sky
The [F]water looks bluer
through her pretty [C]eyes
And [F]everyone [G]knows it when[C]ever she [Am]flies
And [C]also [G]when she comes [F]down

[Verse 4]
[C]Hate keeps his head up
and [G]walks through the [C]street
[F]Every stranger and drifter he [C]greets
And [F]shakes hands
with [G]every [C]loner he [Am]meets
With a [C]serious [G]look on his [F]face

[Verse 5]
[C]Love arrives safely with [G]suitcase in [C]tow
[F]Carrying with her the good things we [C]know
A [F]reason to [G]live and a [C]reason to [Am]grow
To [C]trust, to [G]hold, to [F]care

[Verse 6]
[C]Hate sits alone on the [G]hood of his [C]car
With[F]out much regard to the moon or the [C]stars
[F]Lazily kill[G]ing the [C]last of a [Am]jar
Of the [C]strongest [G]stuff you can [F]drink

[Verse 7]
[C]Love takes a taxi, a [G]young [C]man drives
As [F]soon he sees her hope fills his [C]eyes
But [F]tears follow [G]after
at the [C]end of the [Am]ride
'Cause he [C]might never [G]see her a[F]gain

[Verse 8]
[C]Hate gets home lucky to [G]still be a[C]live
He [F]screams over the sidewalk
and into the [C]drive
The [F]clock in the [G]kitchen
says [C]two fifty [Am]five
And the [C]clock in the [G]kitchen is [F]slow

[Verse 9]
[C]Love has been waiting [G]patient and [C]kind
Just [F]wanting a phone call
or some kind of [C]sign
That the [F]one that she [G]cares for
who's [C]out of his [Am]mind
Will [C]make it back [G]safe to her [F]arms

[Verse 10]
[C]Hate stumbles forward and [G]leans in the [C]door
[F]Weary head hung down, eyes to the [C]floor
He [F]says, "Love, I'm [G]sorry,"
and [C]she says, "What [Am]for?
I'm [C]yours and that's [G]it, what[F]ever
I should not have [G]been [C]gone for so [Am]long
I'm [C]yours and that's [G]it, for[F]ever
Your [C]mine and that's [G]it, for[F]ever
