[Verse]

C 
                     
G 

I hope that our few remaining friends

F 
                    
C 

Give up on trying to save us
  
C 
                      
G 

I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
        
F 
                        
C 

To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
 

C 
                    
G 

I hope the fences we mended

F 
                           
G 

Fall down beneath their own weight
      
C 
                        
Am 

And I hope we hang on past the last exit
  
F 
                     
G 

I hope it's already too late
 
    
C 

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Am 

   Someday burns down
    
F 

And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
                 
G 
                  
F 

And I never come back to this town again
 
[Chorus]
      
G 
              
C 

In my life, I hope I lie
         
F 

And tell everyone you were a good wife
                  
C 

And I hope you die
               
G 
      
C 

I hope we both die

[Verse]

C 
                   
G 

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow

F 
                        
C 

I hope it bleeds all day long
    
C 
                          
G 

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

F 
                             
C 

We're pretty sure they're all wrong
 

C 
                       
G 

I hope it stays dark forever

F 
                      
G 

I hope the worst isn't over
    
C 
                       
Am 

And I hope you blink before I do
    
F 
                  
G 

And I hope I never get sober
 
      
C 

And I hope when you think of me years down the line,
    
Am 

You can't find one good thing to say
        
F 

And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
                              
G 

You'd stay the hell out of my way
 
[Chorus]
     
F 
                             
G 

I am drowning, there is no sign of land
                    
C 

You are coming down with me

F 

Hand in unlovable hand
                  
C 

And I hope you die
              
G 
       
C 

I hope we both die
