These are the chord changes exactly as heard on the studio recording. I can almost
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
8th fret. And the Bb chord at the 6th fret. That's how it is on the recording..You
obviously interpret it however you wish though.***

VERSE 1
I hope that our few remaining friends
give up on trying to save us.
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
to piss off the dumb few who forgave us.
I hope the fences we mended
fall down beneath their own weight.
And I hope we hang on past the last exit.
I hope its already too late.
PRECHORUS
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Bbmin
someday burns down.
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,
and i never come back to this town again.
CHORUS
in my life
i hope i lie
and tell everyone you were a good wife.
and i hope you die!
i hope we both die!
