Song Title: If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Artist: Squeeze
The last time I sent in a song, some of the chords shifted
slightly. Listen to the song to get a better idea of how
to play it just in case. :)
Please post corrections if I'm way off here.
If I Didn't Love You I'd Hate You - Squeeze
Intro |G|AGD|
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Watching you play in the bath
A soap suds stickle back navy
A scrubbing brush landing craft
Your skin gets softer and warmer
I pat you down with a towel
Tonight it's love by the fire
My mind goes out on the prowl
If I - if I - if I - if I
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
I'm playing your stereogram
Singles remind me of kisses
Albums remind me of plans
Tonight it's love by the fire
The wind plays over the coals
Passionate looks are my fancy
But you turn the look into stone
If I - if I - if I - if I
If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow
by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe you love me
Oh...If I didn't love you
If I - if I - if I - if I
G (play verse without words)
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Cocoa mugs sit side by side
It's time to poke at the fire
But it's not tonight, looks I find
Taking a bite on a biscuit
The record jumps on a scratch
Tonight it's love by the fire
The door of your love's on the latch
If I - if I - if I - if I
If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow
by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe you love me
Oh...If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow
by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe you love me
Oh...If I didn't love you
If I - if I - if I - Didn't - didn't - didn't - Love you - love
you - love you

A different interpretation
Words basically taken from what's above, with revised (and hopefully more
correct) chords.
Figured out by Geordan Rosario (geordan@csua.berkeley.edu) with some help from
Ben Scott (scotsman@csua.berkeley.edu). Ben rewound the CD relentlessly for
me.

----------
Footnote 1: If played on keyboard, the D must be played D-F#-A. Won't sound
right otherwise.
Footnote 2: That's right, no chord split F#. i.e., the bassist closes the
song with F#.
