[Verse 1]
C Am F C
Happy Birthday Black song to my cancerous blood
C C G G
Will you please feed me my tube
C Am 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 Am 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 Am F C
Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas
C G C C
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Am 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 Am 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 Am F C
Janitor keys jingle jangle the loneliest tune
C G C C
Hope is big but we're always gonna lose
C Am 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 Am 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]
Am F C G
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big

Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
