Em
1. As we were talking outside it was cold
   C
   We were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter
   Em
   My wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know
   C
   Please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody
   
2. You said "Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
   Five minutes before I'd died, I'd be filled with such regret
   Before I took my last breath" and I said, "You're willing to tell me this 
   now
   And you're not going to die anytime soon
   
3. And I said, "I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything
   And you said, "Yes but you've been wearing leather"
   And laughed and said, "We're at the top of the food chain"
   And yes you're still a fine woman and I cringed

   Em    C             Am
R: I was hoping, I was hoping 
   we could heal each other
   Em    C             Am
   I was hoping, I was hoping 
   we could be raw together

4. We left the restaurant where the head waiter in his 60's said
   "Goodbye sir, thank you for your business sir you're
   Successful and established sir and
   We like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money"
   
5. And when I walked by they said, "Thank you too dear"
   I was all pigtails and cords
   And there was a day when I would've said something like
   "Hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it
   I too once thought I was owed something"

R: I was hoping...

6. I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
   And I too once thought life was cruel
   Well, it's a cycle really you think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping
   I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard
   
*: And I said, "Do you believe we are
   Fundamentally judgmental, fundamentally evil?"
   And you said "Yes", I said, "I don't believe in revenge
   In right or wrong good or bad" you said
   "Well what about the man that I saw handcuffed
   In the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid?"
   
7. And she threw a shoe at his head
   I think what he did was wrong
   And I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him
   I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged"
   
R: I was hoping......
