I Hope You Die

Wye Oak


Tom: D

D                   Bm
In the belly of the cloud

I was released
A        D
You were released
D                  Bm
Was it deafeningly loud?
               G
Or was it peace?
A     D
Sweet peace


[Verse]
D
All the streets
                Bm
All filled with sound
    
Because it's right
A            D
It's for the best
D
Still I sense
               Bm
Their judgment now
      G
As we ask for rest
D
Just rest


[Chorus]
D                             Bm 
I can't sleep until I see you sleeping
D                     G          Bm
Curse my mind and its all-seeing eye
D
Watch the rise
                     Bm
And wonder if you're breathing
             D
Against your will

You are alive


[Verse]
D                     Bm
I don't recognize the world
              G
That you have made
     A       D
That we have made
D                          Bm
Still you fool yourself to ask

If you had stayed
    A     D
If we had stayed


[Verse]
D                   Bm  
At the ringing of a bell
                  A     D  
Or at the falling of a tree
D                      Bm 
If you think of it at all
         G
Remember me
A    D   
Just me 


[Chorus]
D                                Bm
I can't breathe until I see you waking
D                                    Bm 
Watching as the scars fall from your eyes
D                             Bm
Into a world that you may not remember
           D
I hope you die
  A        D 
I hope you die
D
I hope you die
D
I hope you die
