Em A E A F G C
CI hope that our few remainingG friends
FGive up on trying to save us C

CAnd I hope we hang on past thGe last exit
FI hope it's already too late G
CAnd I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here C B A
ASomeday burns down A G F

(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
