[Verse 1]
B G#m E B
Happy Birthday Black song to my cancerous blood
B B F# F#
Will you please feed me my tube
B G#m E B
So many oceans to swim but I lost my will to swim

Now I felt a cool breeze on my invalid knees

Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas

Hope is big, but they're always gonna win

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