Music By Ben Folds
Lyrics By Nick Hornby
F(9) C
G F(9) C G They checked into the hospital new year's eve F(9) C G Nothing to be done about that F(9) C G Rainbows, daffodils; she's not naïve F(9) C G Symbolism's all crap F(9) There's a big picture window in their room C G On the ward, with a view of a parliament hill Dm7(4) F(9) C But the view offers more joy than they can afford G When there's this much pain to kill Dm7(4) You know what hope is? G Hope is a bastard C/E Hope is a liar F(9) A cheat and a tease Dm7(4) Hope comes near you? G Kick it's backside C/E F(9) C G F(9) C G Got no place in days like these F(9) C At dusk the darkness surrenders to color G As the fireworks streak the sky F(9) C And their window gives them the prettiest picture G Their useless luck makes her wanna cry F(9) C Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent G Another Mum gives her some sparkling wine F(9) C And she nearly gives in to the moment G But she'll still be sick in 2009 Dm7(4) You know what hope is? G Hope is a bastard C/E Hope is a liar F(9) A cheat and a tease Dm7(4) Hope comes near you? G Kick it's backside C/E F(9) C G Got no place in days like these
Dm7(4) G Em F (repeat 3 times)
Am7(4) C/G Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down F(9)/A Csus A rocket bursts in front of her eyes Dm7(4) The city lit up like a crown on London C F(2) F6 And she tries and fails to stop spirits rise Dm7(4) You know what hope is? G Hope is a bastard C/E Hope is a liar F(9) A cheat and a tease Dm7(4) Hope comes near you? G Kick it's backside C/E F(9) Got no place in days like these Dm7(4) You know what hope is? G Hope is a bastard C/E Hope is a liar F(9) A cheat and a tease Dm7(4) Hope comes near you? G Kick it's backside C/E F(9) C/E G F(9) C /E G Got no place in days like these
