This is how John plays it live.
Capo on the 1st Fret
Intro:
Em A E A F G C
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 failsafe 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 G
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
F G
I hope it's already too late
C C B A
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
A A G F
Someday burns down
F
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
G
And I never come back to this town
F G C
Again in my life I hope I lie
A
and tell everyone you were a good wife
C
And I hope you die
G C
I hope we both die
(back to intro part and continue for second half)
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
