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

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

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