These are the chord changes exactly as heard on the studio recording.  I can almost guarantee you that its flawless.
Enjoy.  -Will Mitchell

***A note about the chords below..The correct voicing for the Fmin chord is to bar it at the 8th fret.  And the Bb chord at the 6th fret.  That's how it is on the recording..You can obviously interpret it however you wish though.***

VERSE 1

Db                              Ab
I hope that our few remaining friends

Gb                           Db
give up on trying to save us.

Db                                             Ab
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot

    Gb                                          Db
to piss off the dumb few who forgave us.

Db                            Ab
I hope the fences we mended

Gb                                       Ab
fall down beneath their own weight.

Db                                               Ab
And I hope we hang on past the last exit.

Gb                            Ab
I hope its already too late.

PRECHORUS

Db
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Bbmin
           someday burns down.

Gb
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,

                           Ab                         Gb
and i never come back to this town  again.

CHORUS

Gb     Ab
in my life

            Db
i hope i lie

              Gb
and tell everyone you were a good wife.

                       Db
and i hope you die!

                       Ab
i hope we both die!


{REPEAT INTRO


same chord structures for verse 2.  I know its a drag to scroll up and down for the lyrics and chords....but just learn the chord pattern...its easy..


VERSE 2 :
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow;
I hope it bleeds all day long.
Our friends say its 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.
I hope you blink before I do.
I hope I never get sober.

PRECHORUS :
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'd found the strength to walk out,
you'd stay the hell out of my way.

CHORUS2 :
i am drowning.
there is no sign of land.
you are coming down with me,
hand in unloveable hand.
and i hope you die!
i hope we both die!
