[Intro] E - C#m - A - A


[Verse]
    E
I'm driving down the highway
         C#m
Cold and dark, dead
      A
(It's deceiving)
     A
It's deceiving

    E
And miles and miles pass by
        C#m
And I'm alone
                          A
My eyes feel like they're bleeding
             A
But I'm just crying

               B - C#m - A
Is this what I ask for?
               B - C#m - A
Is this what I ask for?


[Chorus]
  E                              C#m
I hate myself when I'm away from you
            A
I swear I'm sorry
B
Please don't hate me too
      E                                 C#m
And I don't know if my heart will make it through
            A
I swear I'm sorry
B                    C#m - B - A
Please don't hate me too


[Verse]
  E
I don't suppose you heard me
          C#m
Call your name, girl
           A
If you say louder,
                 A
Then I'll scream louder

    E                              C#m
The cities in between us block the way
             A
They make it harder
                A
But I'll scream louder

                   B - C#m - A
Is this what I ask for?
                   B - C#m - A
Is this what I ask for?


[Chorus]
  E                              C#m
I hate myself when I'm away from you
            A
I swear I'm sorry
B
Please don't hate me too
      E                                 C#m
And I don't know if my heart will make it through
            A
I swear I'm sorry
B                    C#m - B - A - Am
Please don't hate me too


[Bridge]

(Don't hate me)
F#m
Don't fail now
     B
Hold on to hope

          E
Cause I'm yours
           B/D#        C#m
I'm coming home to you soon (I'm coming home)
          F#m
Cause the road is very worn
         B             (pause)       E
And it's begging me to come back (To You)


[Chorus/Outro]
E                                C#m
I hate myself when I'm away from you
            A
I swear I'm sorry (I'm sorry)

Please don't hate me too (I'm coming home)
              A
Don't hate me too

Please don't hate me too
