'I Hate It Too' by Hum

from the album 'You'd Prefer An Astronaut'

use dropped-D tuning (tune your low E string down to D)

Listen to the song for timing; I haven't tabbed every single chord

stroke (that last chord in verse progression is sometimes played

once, sometimes 4x), and Hum has two guitars to my one, but this

will get you pretty close.

....how it all goes together...

(verse chord progression - no distortion)

morning grey ignites a twisted mess

of foreign shapes and sounds

I wish the ceiling was the ground

I'll send you flowers made of silent tiny pieces of the sun

to help me make up for this one

while you send me tidal waves of love

when you're alone and I can't remember what you do

define a way to turn the signal back to heaven sounding blue

and bring me faithful back to you

(chorus chord progression - no distortion)

and she don't hold me right

shes never gonna get me there

and she don't hold me right

shes never gonna get me there

not tonight

(verse chord progression with distortion)

if we break off gently its the motion

spinning outward into space

my hand always firm and gently at the wheel

while you sweetly hold my face

and I need you to give it meaning

I need you to share the view

or it becomes a time for me to love myself

like every other thing I do

(chorus again, and then back to verse progression)
