[Fm] [A#] [Fm] [A#]
[F#] [G#] [C#]
I hope that our [G#] few 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.
I hope the fences [G#] we mended [F#] fall down beneath [G#] their own weight.
[C#] And I hope [A#m] we 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 here [A#] 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, I [C#] hope I lie [F#] and tell everyone you were a good [C#] wife.
And I 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 hope [C#] it bleeds all day long.
Our friends say it's dark [G#] as before the sun rises.
[F#] We're [G#] pretty sure [C#] they're all wrong.
I hope it stays [D#] dark forever.
[G#] [F#] I hope the worst [G#] isn't over.
[C#] And I [A#m] hope you blink before I do.
[F#] I [G#] hope I 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#] And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell [G#] out of my way.
[F#] I am drowning.
There is no [G#] sign of land.
You are [C#] coming down with me.
[F#] Hand in unlovable hand, [C#] and I hope you die.
I [G#] hope we both die.
