Chords

From the album "Retriever" (2004) [Intro] G F G Am G F G Am G F G [Verse 1]
        C
Wishing wells

Em          F
are fine in fairy tales

                            C
But they've got no business here

Em           F                                   G
Where evil's very real and children are known to just disappear
[Verse 2]
       C
Magic spells

Em            F
still hold no currency

                        C
Where people are lining up

Em            F                        G
To sell their dignity when reality's a show, they'll crawl through mud
[Chorus]
           F                     G       Am   G
I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell

            F            G        Am              G
I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well
[Verse 3]
           C
To wish me well

Em          F
It comes as no surprise

                      C
All that rises to the top

Em         F                              G
Before our very eyes with each generation expectation drops
[Chorus]
           F                     G       Am   G
I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell

            F            G        Am              G
I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well

           C
To wish me well
[Instrumental] Em F C Em F G [Verse 4]
        C
Tell me when,

Em            F
when will the truth prevail

                       C
To clear away all the smug

Em           F                                  G
and smirking juveniles and save us from all the blood thirsty thugs
[Chorus]
           F                     G       Am   G
I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell

            F            G        Am              G
I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well

           F                     G       Am   G
I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell

            F            G        Am              G
I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well
