Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hate myself for [Dm]loving you
An[Am]d the weakness
that it [Dm]showed
[Am]You are just a painted f[Dm]ace
On a [Am]trip down suicidal [Em]road
[F]The stage was set, the light[Am]s went out,
all [Dm]around the old hotel
[F]I hate myself for l[Bb]oving you,
and I'm [F]glad the [Gm]cur tain
[Dm]fell[Gm][Dm][Gm]
[Am]I hate that foolish ga[Dm]me we played,
and the [Am]need that was expressed
[Dm]And th[Am]e mercy that
you [Dm]showed to me,
who[Am]ever would [Em]have guessed
[F]I went out along a b[Am]right way,
and I [Dm]felt that pain within
[F]That hollow place
where [Bb]martyrs weep,
and [F]angels [Gm]play with sin
[Dm][Gm][Dm][Gm]
[Am]There are those who wor[Dm]ship loneliness,
but [Am]I'm not one of t[Dm]hem
[Am]In this age of f[Dm]iberglass,
I'm [Am]searching for a [Em]gem
[F]Crystal ball [Am]upon the wall
hasn't [Dm]shown me nothing yet
[F]Paid the price of [Bb]solitude,
but at [Am]last I'm [Gm]out [Dm]there
[Gm][Dm][Gm][Dm][Gm][Dm]
[Gm]I can [Am]'t recall one usefu[Dm]l thing
you [Am]ever did for [Dm]me
Kep[Am]t me on your ba[Dm]ck
one time when [Am]I was
on my [Em]knees
[F]We're staring into each [Am]other's eyes
Till [Dm]one of us would break
[F]No use to apolo[Bb]gize
What [F]difference [Gm]does it [Dm]make?[Gm]
[Dm][Gm][Dm][Gm][Dm][Gm][Am]
So sing your praise [Dm]of progress,
[Am]and of the doom machine
[Dm]Nake[Am]d truth is still tab[Dm]oo,
[Am]nev er it can be s[Em]een[F]
Lady luck who [Am]shines on me,
[Dm]will tell you where I'm at
[F]I hate myself for l[Bb]oving you
But I should get over [Gm]that
