I Was Hoping Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
As we were talking [Am]outside
It was cold
We [F]were shivering,
yet warmed by the sub[Dm]ject mat[Am]ter

[Verse 2]
My [Am]wife is in the next room
We've been having troubles you know
Please [F]don't tell her or anyone
But I [Dm]need to talk [Am]to somebody
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Am]You said,
wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
Five [F]minutes before I died? I'd be
[Dm]filled with such regret
Before I [Am]took my last breath
And [Asus2]I said, y[Am]ou're willing
to tell me this now
And you're [F]not going to die
[Dm]Anytime soon
And I said, [Am]I haven't
been eating chicken
Or meat or anything

[Verse 4]
And you said yes [F]But
you've been [Dm]wearing leather
And [Am]laughed and said
We're at the top of the food chain
And yes, you're still a fine [F]woman
And [Dm]I cr[Am]inged

[Verse 5]
I was [Am]hoping
I was [G]hoping we could [Dm]heal each [Am]other
I was hoping
I was [G]hoping we could [Dm]be

[Interlude 1]
raw together
[Am][A]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
We left the restaurant [Am]Where the
head waiter in his 60s, said
Good[F]bye, sir, thank you for your
busi[Dm]ness sir
You're success[Am]ful and established,
sir
We like the frequency with
which you dine here, sir
And your [F]money[Am]
[Dm]And [Am]when I walked by,
they said thank you too, dear
I was all [F]pigtails and cords
And there was [Dm]a day when I
would've said something like
[Am]Hey dude, I could buy and
sell this place, so kiss [F]it
I too once thought I [Dm]was
owed [Am]something

[Verse 7]
I was [Am]hoping
I was [G]hoping we could
[Dm]challenge each [Am]other
I was hoping
I was [G]hoping we could crack
[Dm]each other up[Am]
I too thought that [Asus2]when proved

[Verse 8]
wrong,
I lost [Am]someh[F]ow
I too once thought life [Dm]was [Am]cruel
[Dm]And [Am]it's a cycle, really
You think I'm withdrawing
and guilt tripping [F]you
I think you're insensitive and
I don't feel [Dm]heard

[Verse 9]
(And I said do you believe [Am]we
[F]are)
Fundamentally judgmental?
Fundamentally [Dm]evil?
And you said [Am]yes
I said, I don't believe in revenge
In right [F]or wrong, good or bad
You said well,
[Dm]what about the man that I saw
Handcuffed [Am]in the emergency room
Bleeding after beating his kid
And she threw [F]a shoe at his head
And I think what he [Dm]did was wrong
And I [Am]would've have had
a hard time feeling
Compassion for him
I had to [F]watch my tone for fear
of [Dm]having you feel [Am]judged

[Verse 10]
I was [Am]hoping
I was [G]hoping we could [Dm]dance [Am]together
I was hoping
I was [G]hoping we could be [Dm]creamy [Am]together
