[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

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