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] AE I hope that our few remaining friends DA Give up on trying to save us AE I hope we come up with a failsafe plot DA To piss off the dumb few that forgave us AE I hope the fences we mended DE Fall down beneath their own weight AF#m And I hope we hang on past the last exit DE I hope it's already too late AF#m And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down D And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away ED And I never come back to this town again
[Chorus] EA In my life I hope I lie F#m And tell everyone you were a good wife A And I hope you die EA I hope we both die
C#mF# (x2) DE A
[Verse] AE I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow DA I hope it bleeds all day long AE Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises DA Well we're pretty sure they're all wrong AE I hope it stays dark forever DE I hope the worst isn't over AF#m And I hope you blink before I do DE 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] DE I am drowning there is no sign of land A You are coming down with me F#m hand in unlovable hand A And I hope you die EA I hope we both die
