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|
A G D
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A G D
Watching you play in the bath
A G D
A soap suds stickle back navy
A G D
A scrubbing brush landing craft
C G G#min
Your skin gets softer and warmer

I pat you down with a towel
F#min Emin Amin
Tonight it's love by the fire
G E
My mind goes out on the prowl
F#
If I - if I - if I - if I
A G D
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A G D
I'm playing your stereogram

G (play verse without words)
A G D
If I didn't love you I'd hate you
A G D
Cocoa mugs sit side by side

It's time to poke at the fire
A G D
But it's not tonight, looks I find
C G G#min
Taking a bite on a biscuit
C G G#min
The record jumps on a scratch
F#min Emin Amin
Tonight it's love by the fire

The door of your love's on the latch
F#
If I - if I - if I - if I

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#.
