I Like You Better When You Hated Yourself

The Badlees


Tom: E

E
We used to drink our Bacardi 
A              E
Behind the old school 
    E           A 
And bitch about dreams 
           F#m        B   
That would never come true 
E                A
Then you heard a callin' 
     F#m      B
That I hadn't felt 
E           F#m
I liked you better 
         B     E
When you hated yourself


Verse 2
E
Now you spend lots of time 
        A            E
At that natural food place 
       E               A 
Buyin' fresh blocks of tofu 
          F#m         B
Just like mom used to make 
       E               A 
You kicked your bad habits 
          F#m     B
You're in perfect health 
E           F#m
But I liked you better 
         B     E
When you hated yourself


Bridge
A                 G#m
Change, it came a blowin' 
     F#m      E 
Like we never met 
A                 G#m
Your inner child and you play games 
     F#m      E 
That I just don't get 
A                 G#m
Somewhere it's written 
     F#m      E 
That this too shall pass 
A
But lately you've just been 
  B
A pain in the ass....
        



Verse 3
E
Ask me if I care 
        A             E   
Well, I guess I still do 
E                  A
Friends don't come easy 
     F#m           B   
Even assholes like you 
E                  A
And that shrink of yours 
     F#m           B   
She can go straight to hell 
E           F#m
I liked you better 
         B     E
When you hated yourself


Interlude
F#m          B  
Yodel-eh-hee-hee
F#m          B  
Yodel-eh-hee-hee

A - E - F#m - E

Verse 4
E
Last time I saw you 
         A      E   
You were on Donahue 
E               A
Discussing your book 
    F#m                    B   
And everything you've been through 
E                   A
Now you've got your glamour 
     F#m           B   
Your fame and your wealth 
      E               F#m
But I Still liked you better 
         B     E
When you hated yourself
      E               F#m
But I Still liked you better 
         B     E
When you hated yourself
