Hate to Say I Told You So Guitar Tablature
This isn't a tab that's easy to find, so I thought I'd share it with everyone. It's an easy song, standard tuning. I have seen other ways to play it, but I'm not sure if they're correct. I prefer to play it this way, and this sounds perfect to me.

That's really all there is to it.

Lyrics:

Do what I want cause I can and if I don’t
because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored
because I’m gonna 
Spit and retrieve cause I give and receive
because I wanna
Gonna get through your head, its what the mystery man said
because I’m gonna

Hate to say I told you so - ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so

Now it’s all out and you know
Cause I wanted to

Turn my back on the rot that’s been planning the plot
because I’m gonna
No need for me to wait
because I wanna
No need to be too late
because I’m gonna

Hate to say I told you so - ALRIGHT
Come on
Do believe I told you so

Do what I please, gonna spread the disease
because I wanna
Gonna call all the shots, all the no’s and the not’s
because I wanna

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH

Ask me once I'll answer twice, cause all I know I'll tell 
because I wanna
Sound device and lots of ice, I’ll spell my name out loud
because I wanna

OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
