These are the chord changes exactly as heard on the studio recording.  I can almost

***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

C#                              Ab
I hope that our few remaining friends

F#                           C#
give up on trying to save us.

C#                                             Ab
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot

    F#                                          C#
to piss off the dumb few who forgave us.

C#                            Ab
I hope the fences we mended

F#                                       Ab
fall down beneath their own weight.

C#                                               Ab
And I hope we hang on past the last exit.

F#                            Ab
I hope its already too late.

PRECHORUS

C#
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Bbmin
           someday burns down.

F#
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away,

                           Ab                         F#
and i never come back to this town  again.

CHORUS

F#     Ab
in my life

            C#
i hope i lie

              F#
and tell everyone you were a good wife.

                       C#
and i hope you die!

                       Ab
i hope we both die!
