[Opening]
I [E]probably shouldn’t say this, but at [B]times I get so scared
When I [C#m]think about the previous [B]relationship we shared
It was [A]awesome but we lost, it’s not [B]possible, for me not to [C#m]care
And [B]now we’re [A]standing in the rain
[B]Nothing’s ever gonna change until you [C#m]hear my dear
[chorus]
The 7 things I hate about [E]you [B] [C#m]the [B]7 things I hate about [A]you oh [B]you
[E]You’re vain, your [B]games, you’re [C#m]insecure
You love me, [B]you like her, you [A]make me laugh, you make me cry
I [B]don’t know which side to buy [E]your friends they’re [B]jerks
When you act like [C#m]them just know it [B]hurts, I [A]wanna be with the one I [B]know
And the [E]7th thing I [A]hate the most that you [B]do, you make me love you

It’s [E]awkward and silent, as I [B]wait for you to say, [C#m]what I need to hear now
Your [B]sincere apology, when you [A]mean it, I’ll believe it, if you [B]text it, I’ll delete it

And the [E]7th thing I [A]hate the most that you [B]do, you make me love you

And [E]compared to all the great things that would [B]take too long to write
I [C#m]probably should mention, the [B]7 that I like
