I So Hate Consequences

[C#]  [Bb]  [C#]  [Bb]  [F#]  [Ab]

[Bb]So here I sit looking at the traffic lights [C#]
The red extinguishes the hope that the green igni[F#]tes
I want to run away I want to ditch my lif[C#]e
Cause all of my mist[Ab]akes keep me awake at nigh[Bb]t

And after all of my alibis desert me      [C#]

I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me [F#]

I had no idea where my head was at
But if my [C#]heart says I'm sorry ca[Ab]n we leave it at that
Because I[Bb] just want for [Ab]all of this to end[C#]

And I[F#] so hate c[C#]onsequences
And runni[Bb]ng from you is what my best defense is      [Ab]
[F#]  Ohh....... Conse[C#]quences
Oh God[Bb], don't make me face up to this[Ab]
And I [F#]so hate c[C#]onsequences
And runn[Bb]ing from you is what my best defense is       [Ab]
[F#]Cause I know that I let you down
[Ab]And I don't want to deal with that

Intro repeated*

[Bb]It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
[C#]And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that
[F#]And every trace of momentum is gone
And this [C#]isn't turning out the[Ab] way I want                 [Bb]

And after all of my alibis desert me
[C#]I just want to get by

I don't want nothing to hurt me
I [F#]had no idea where my head was at
But if my [C#]heart says I'm sorry can we l[Ab]eave it at that
Because I[Bb] just want for all of thi[Ab]s to end          [C#]

And I so ha[F#]te consequ[C#]ences
And runni[Bb]ng from you is what my best defense is      [Ab]
[F#]  Ohh....... Conse[C#]quences
Oh God[Bb], don't make me face up to this[Ab]
And I so ha[F#]te conseq[C#]uences
And runn[Bb]ing from you is what my best defense is       [Ab]
[F#]Cause I know that I let you down
[Ab]And I don't want to deal with that

A[Bb]nd I spent all last night
Tearing down [F#]

Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town [C#]

Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now [Ab]

I'll get away despite
The fact I'm so weighed down[F#]

All of my [Ab]escapes have been exhausted           [Bb]

I thought I had a way but then I lost it
[F#]And my resistance was once much stro[Ab]nger
[Bb]And I know I can't go on like this much longer

[F#]          [C#]   [F#]             [C#]

[C#]When I got tired of running from you    [Bb]
I stopped right there to catch my breath   [F#]
There your words they caught my ears  [C#]
You said, "I miss you[Ab] son. Come home" [C#]
And my sins, they watched me leave   [Bb]
And in my heart I so believed [F#]
The love you felt for me was mine[C#]
The love I'd wished for al[Ab]l this time[Eb]

And when the doors were closed
[Bb]I heard no I told [Ab]you so's
I s[F#]aid the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh[C#] God I needed yo[Ab]u
[Bb]God all this time I needed y[Ab]ou, I needed you     [F#]

And I so h[F#]ate conse[C#]quences
And runni[Bb]ng from you is what my best defense is      [Ab]
[F#]  I hate these Con[C#]sequences
And I [Bb]know that I let you down
[Ab]And I don't want to deal with that

[F#]  [Ab]  [Bb]  [F#]  [C#]  [F#]  [C#]
