Ballad Of Love And Hate

Capo 1 D# D# A# D# Love writes a letter and sends it to hate. G# G# A# D# My vacations ending. I'm coming home late. G# A# D# G# The weather was fine and the ocean was great D# A# G# G# and I can't wait to see you again. D# D# A# D# Hate reads the letter and throws it away. G# G# A# D# "No one here cares if you go or you stay. G# A# D# G# I barely even noticed that you were away. D# A# G# G# I'll see you or I won't, whatever." D# D# A# D# Love sings a song as she sails through the sky. G# G# A# D# The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes. G# A# D# G# And everyone knows it whenever she flies, D# A# G# G# and also when she comes down. D# D# A# D# Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street. G# G# A# D# Every stranger and drifter he greets. G# A# D# G# And shakes hands with every loner he meets D# A# G# G# with a serious look on his face. D# D# A# D# Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow. G# G# A# D# Carrying with her the good things we know. G# A# D# G# A reason to live and a reason to grow. D# A# G# G# To trust. To hope. To care. D# D# A# D# Hate sits alone on the hood of his car. G# G# A# D# Without much regard to the moon or the stars. G# A# D# G# Lazily killing the last of a jar D# A# G# G# of the strongest stuff you can drink. D# D# A# D# Love takes a taxi, a young man drives. G# G# A# D# As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes. G# A# D# G# But tears follow after, at the end of the ride, D# A# G# G# cause he might never see her again. D# D# A# D# Hate gets home lucky to still be alive. G# G# A# D# He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive. G# A# D# G# The clock in the kitchen says 2:55, D# A# G# G# And the clock in the kitchen is slow. D# D# A# D# Love has been waiting, patient and kind. G# G# A# D# Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign, G# A# D# G# That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind, D# A# G# G# Will make it back safe to her arms. D# D# A# D# Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door. G# G# A# D# Weary head hung, eyes to the floor. G# A# D# G# He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for? D# A# G# G# I'm your and that's it, Whatever. G# A# D# G# I should not have been gone for so long. D# A# G# G# I'm your's and that's it, forever." D# A# G# G# You're mine and that's it, forever.
