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 

           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 
 
           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 

           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
