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

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