Mountain Goats - No Children Chords & Tabs

This is how John plays it live.
Capo on the 1st Fret

Intro:

Em       A E A      F  G  C
C                            G
I hope that our few remaining friends 
F                            C 
Give up on trying to save us 
C                            G 
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot 
F                            C 
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us 

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

C                                                           C B  A
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here 
A                            A G F
Someday burns down 
F
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away 
G
And I never come back to this town 
F                      G             C
Again      in my life     I hope I lie 
  A
and tell everyone you were a good wife 
     C
And I hope you die 
   G                     C    
I hope we both die 

(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
