[Fm] [A#] [Fm] [A#]
[F#m] [G#] [C#]
I hope that our few [G#] remaining friends [F#] give up [C#] on trying to save us.
I hope we come up [G#] with a fail-safe plot to [F#] piss off the [C] dumb few [C#] that forgave us.
The fences [G#] we met [F#] fall down beneath [G#] their own weight,
[C#] and I hope we [A#m] hang on past the last [F#] exit.
I hope [G#] it's already too late, [C#] and I hope the junkyard a few blocks from [A#] here
Someday burns down, [F#] and I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,
and I [G#] never come back to this [F#] town again.
[G#] In my life, [C#] I hope I lie, [F#] and tell everyone you were a good wife,
and I [C#] hope you die.
I [G#] hope we both die.
[C#] [Fm] [A#]
[Fm] [A#] [F#m] [G#]
[C#] I hope I cut [G#] myself shaving tomorrow.
[F#] I [C#] hope it bleeds all day long.
Our friends say it's [G#] darkest before the sun [F#] rises.
[G#] We're pretty sure [C#] they're all wrong.
I hope it stays [D#] dark [G#] forever.
[F#] I hope the [G#] worst isn't over,
[C#] and [A#m] I hope you blink before I do.
[F#] I hope I [G#] never get sober,
[C#] and I hope when you think of me years down the [A#] line, you can't find one good thing to say.
[F#] I found the strength to walk out, to stay the [G#] hell out of my way.
[F#] I am drowning.
There is [G#] no sign of land.
You are [C#] coming down with me,
[F#] hand in unlovable [C#] hand, and I hope you die.
I [G#] hope we both die.
