This is the way that I've seen John 
play it live every time I've seen 
them.

[Intro]

*C#m C#sus2 A (modified)*  F#  (x2)
D  E
A

During the intro, the chords 
surrounded by *'s are an optional 
way to simulate the piano part in 
the song.
The main chord is C#m and the other 
two are played only once in fast 
succession. the strum pattern is
down, down up down up down, down, 
down with the last two down strums 
being the second two chords.

If you listen for the piano part in 
the song it's clear. When I play 
this song I replace all of the
fills with this lick, because 
frankly, I think it sounds AMAZING.

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

Someday burns down
    D
And I hope the rising black smoke 
carries me far away
                 E                 
And I never come back to this town 
 D
again

[Chorus]
      E             A
In my life I hope I lie
         F#m
And tell everyone you were a good 
wife
               A
And I hope you die
          E         A
I hope we both die

[Verse]
A                   E
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
D                        A
I hope it bleeds all day long
    A                          E
Our friends say it's darkest before 
the sun rises
     D                             
Well we're pretty sure they're all 
A
wrong
A                       E
I hope it stays dark forever
D                      E
I hope the worst isn't over
    A                       F#m
And I hope you blink before I do
  D                E
I hope I never get sober
      A
And I hope when you think of me 
years down the line
    F#m
You can't find one good thing to say
      D
And I hope that if I found the 
strength to walk out
                              E
You'd stay the hell out of my way

[Chorus]
     D                            
I am drowning there is no sign of 
E
land
                    A
You are coming down with me
F#m
hand in unlovable hand
               A
And I hope you die
          E        A
I hope we both die
