[Intro]
C Am Em G
[Verse 1]
C Am
The night bus drove behind my old school
Em
Shone lights on broken tiles and cracked paint
G
Tell me have I changed?
C Am
Well memories blur like rumours these days
Em
So I stayed up late to comb through my brain
G
Wallow in my ways
[Chorus]
C
How could you ever think I hated you?
Am
Slipped and fell was feeling shades of blue
Em
Darker than the deepest swimming pool
G
Beneath the surface watched as you withdrew
C
How could you ever think I hated you?
Am
Nervous kid not much has changed since school
Em
Gin half mixed I never had a clue
G
When I held back I wasn't there for you
[Verse 2]
C Am
Goodbyes we never said on your porch
Em
Like apologies that always fell short
G
Living in remorse
C
And when your eyes flickered and closed
I wish I had known
Am
That the blame this whole time was under my nose
Em
Wasn't helping
G
I Wasn't helping
[Chorus]
C
How could you ever think I hated you?
Am
Slipped and fell was feeling shades of blue
Em
Darker than the deepest swimming pool
G
Beneath the surface watched as you withdrew
C
How could you ever think I hated you?
Am
Nervous kid not much has changed since school
Em
Gin half mixed I never had a clue
G
When I held back I wasn't there for you
HEY!
[Solo]

How could you ever think I hated you?

Slipped and fell was feeling shades of blue

Darker than the deepest swimming pool

Beneath the surface watched as you withdrew

How could you ever think I hated you?
Am
Nervous kid not much has changed since school
Em
Gin half mixed I never had a clue
G
When I held back I wasn't there for you
