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

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

Yeah they're always gonna win
