No Children Chords by The Mountain Goats

[Bbm] [Ab] I already have an acceptable version of this, but if you hear the version that's on the tape I [F] got from the day I wrote it, then you know. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ I hope [Ab] that our few remaining [Dbm] friends [Gb] give up [Db] on trying to save us.
I hope we come [Ab] up with a fail-safe plan [Gb] to piss off the dumb [Db] few that forgave us.
I hope the [Ab] fences we mended [Gb] fall down [Ab] beneath their own weight.
[Db] And I hope we hang on past [Bb] the last [Gb] exit.
I hope it's [Ab] already too late.
And [Db] I hope the junkyard a few blocks [Abm] from here [Bb]
someday burns [Gb] down.
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away, and I [Ab] never come back to this [Gb] town again.
_ [Ab] In my life, _ [Db] I hope I lie, _ [Gb] and tell everyone you were a good wife.
And I [Db] hope you die.
_ [Ab] I hope we both die.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
I hope I [Ab] cut myself shaving [Gb] tomorrow.
I hope it [Db] bleeds all day long.
My friends say [Ab] it's darkest before the [Gb] sun rises.
We're pretty sure they're [Db] all wrong.
I hope it stays [Ab] dark forever.
[Gb] I hope the worst [Ab] isn't over.
[Db]
And I hope you blink [Bb] before I [Gb] do.
Yeah, I hope I never [Ab] get sober.
[Abm]
[Db] And I hope when you think of me years [Abm] down the line, [Bb] you can't find one good thing to say.
[Gb]
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out [Ab] of my [Gb] way.
I am drowning.
_ [Ab] There is no sign of land.
You [Db] are coming down with me, _ [Gb] hand in unlovable hand.
And [Db] I hope you die.
_ [Ab] I hope we both die.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _
