D D A A
I hope that our few remaining friends
G G D D
Give up on trying to save us
D D A A
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
G G D D
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

D D A A
I hope the fences we mended
G G A A
Fall down beneath their own weight
D D Bm Bm
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
G G A A
I hope it's already too late

D D
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Bm Bm
Someday burns down
G G
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
G G A A G G A A
And I never come back to this town again in my life

D D
I hope I lie
Bm Bm
And tell everyone you were a good wife
D D
And I hope you die
A A
I hope we both die

D D A A
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
GD
I hope it bleeds all day long
DA
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
G G D D
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

D D A A
I hope it stays dark forever
GA
I hope the worst isn't over
D D Bm Bm
And I hope you blink before I do
GA
And I hope I never get sober

D D
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
Bm Bm
You can't find one good thing to say
G G
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
G G A A
You'd stay the hell out of my way

G G
I am drowning
A A
There is no sign of land
D D
You are coming down with me
Bm Bm
Hand in unlovable hand

D D
And I hope you die
A A
I hope we both die

LOVE this. A favourite song and this version is great-- there was a version I was trying to learn, but it was written for guitar and was much too hard for uke! Thanks for posting!
