1. He was sittin’ there beside me throwing doubles down,

 

    when he ordered up his third one he looked around,

                                  C                                                      G

    then he looked at me, said, I do believe I’ll have one more.

                     Am             - Bm                        C

    He said, I hate this bar        and I hate to drink,

                   Am                 - Bm                C    - D            G

    but on second thought          tonight I think       I hate everything

 

                   G

2. Then he opened up his billfold and threw a twenty down,

 

    and a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground,

                            C                                                             G

    and I picked it up, he said, thank ya bud, I put it in his hand.

                       Am                     Bm                    C

    He said, I probably oughta throw this one away 

                Am                     - Bm                 C    - D            G

    ’cause she’s the reason        I feel this way,        I hate everything.

 

             C

Well, I hate my job and I hate my life,

               G                          D         Em

and if it weren’t for my two kids I’d hate my ex-wife.

      C

I know I should move on and try to start again,

      G                     D           Em

but I just can’t get over her leaving me for him.

                 Am                        Bm                          C       - D

Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring,

                    G

said, I hate everything.

 

                          G

3. He said, that one bedroom apartment where I get my mail

 

    is really not a home its more like a jail.

                                  C                                                               G

    with a swimming pool and a parking lot view, man, it’s just great.

 

 

 

 

 

               Am         Bm                      C

    I hate summer, winter, fall and spring,

    Am                  Bm                         C    - D            G

    red and yella, purple, blue and green,       I hate everything.

4. So I pulled out my phone and I called my house,

 

    I said, babe, I’m coming home, we’re gonna work this out.

                          Am    - - - - - - - - - - -    C         - D

    I paid for his drinks, and I told him, thanks,

                      G

    thanks for everything.
