A A E E
I hope that our few remaining friends
D D A A
Give up on trying to save us
A A E E
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
D D A A
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
A A E E
I hope the fences we mended
D D E E
Fall down beneath their own weight
A A F#m F#m
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
D D E E
I hope it's already too late
A A F#m F#m
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Someday burns down
D D
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
E E D D
And I never come back to this town again
E E A A
In my life I hope I lie
F#m F#m
And tell everyone you were a good wife
A A
And I hope you die
E E A A
I hope we both die

A A E E
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
D D A A
I hope it bleeds all day long
A A E E
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
D D A A
Well we're pretty sure they're all wrong
A A E E
I hope it stays dark forever
D D E E
I hope the worst isn't over
A A F#m F#m
And I hope you blink before I do
D D E E
I hope I never get sober
A A
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
F#m F#m
You can't find one good thing to say
D D
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out
E E
You'd stay the hell out of my way
D D E E
I am drowning there is no sign of land
A A F#m F#m
You're all coming down with me (yeah yeah) hand in unlovable hand
A A
And I hope you die
E E A A
I hope we both die

For begginners I suggest starting easy with a simple strumming pattern (DDU UDU) and play E7 instead of E & F#m instead of F#
