[Verse 1]
G# Fm C# G#
Happy Birthday Black song to my cancerous blood
G# G# D# D#
Will you please feed me my tube
G# Fm C# G#
So many oceans to swim but I lost my will to swim
G# D# G# G#
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win
G# Fm C# G#
Now I felt a cool breeze on my invalid knees
G# G# D# D#
It reminded me of our kiss in the summer
G# Fm C# G#
Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas
G# D# G# G#
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win
[Chorus]
Fm C# G# D#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Fm C# G# D#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
G# D# G#
Yeah, they're always gonna win

[Verse 2]
G# Fm C# G#
And all the ashes were red, the fire trucks lost in it
G# G# D# D#
Tombstone flickered on the Fourth of July
G# Fm C# G#
Janitor keys jingle jangle the loneliest tune
G# D# G# G#
Hope is big but we're always gonna lose
G# Fm C# G#
Now you're up and you're out of your impervious doubt
G# G# D# D#
And your love, it won't bring us the truth
G# Fm C# G#
And I hear rats in moonlight tangled up in our fight
G# D# G# G#
Hope is big but they're always gonna win
[Chorus]
Fm C# G# D#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Fm C# G# D#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
G# D# G#
Yeah they're always gonna win

Yeah they're always gonna win
