Hum - Hate It Tabs

'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.                   verse chord progression

        (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)
