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

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

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