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

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

[Chorus]
Cm G# D# A#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Cm G# D# A#
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
D# A# D#
Yeah they're always gonna win
