The Mountain Goats - No children

^CI hope that our few re^Gmaining friends ^FGive up on trying to ^Csave us I hope we come up with a ^Gfail-safe plot To piss ^Foff the dumb few that for^Cgave us

^CI hope the fences we ^Gmended ^FFall down beneath their own ^Gweight And I ^Chope we hang on past the ^Amlast exit I ^Fhope it's already too ^Glate

And ^CI hope the junkyard a few blocks from here ^Am Someday burns down And ^FI hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I never come ^Gback to this town a^Fgain

In my ^Glife, I hope I ^Clie And tell ^Ameveryone you were a good wife And I hope you die^C I hope we ^Gboth die

I hope I cut myself ^Gshaving tomorrow ^FI hope it bleeds all day ^Clong Our friends say it's darkest be^Gfore the sun rises ^FWe're pretty sure they're all ^Cwrong

^CI hope it stays dark for^Gever ^FI hope the worst isn't ^Gover And ^CI hope you blink before ^AmI do And ^FI hope I never get ^Gsober

And I ^Chope when you think of me years down the line, You ^Amcan't find one good thing to say And I'd ^Fhope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my ^Gway

I am ^Fdrowning, there is no sign of ^Gland You are coming down ^Cwith me ^AmHand in unlovable hand And I hope you die^C I hope we ^Gboth die ^C
