Lyrics By Nick Hornby

FF (9 fr.) C majorC

G+G                FF (9 fr.)      C majorC   G+G
They checked into the hospital new year's eve
             FF (9 fr.)          C majorC   G+G
Nothing to be done about that
             FF (9 fr.)         C majorC   G+G
Rainbows, daffodils; she's not naïve
             FF (9 fr.)         C majorC   G+G
Symbolism's all crap

                   FF (9 fr.)
There's a big picture window in their room
	      C majorC	         G+G
On the ward, with a view of a parliament hill
    Dm7(4)      FF (9 fr.)   C majorC
But the view offers more joy than they can afford
G+G
When there's this much pain to kill

Dm7(4)
You know what hope is?
G+G
Hope is a bastard
C/EC/E
Hope is a liar
FF (9 fr.)
A augmentedA cheat and a tease
Dm7(4)
Hope comes near you?
G+G
Kick it's backside
C/EC/E       FF (9 fr.)       C majorC  G+G   F(9)   C majorC   G+G
Got no place in days like these

            FF (9 fr.)         C majorC
At dusk the darkness surrenders to color
    G+G
As the fireworks streak the sky
     FF (9 fr.)         C majorC
And their window gives them the prettiest picture
    G+G
Their useless luck makes her wanna cry
FF (9 fr.)          C majorC
Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent
  G+G
Another Mum gives her some sparkling wine
    FF (9 fr.)     C majorC
And she nearly gives in to the moment
      G+G
But she'll still be sick in 2009

Dm7(4)
You know what hope is?
G+G
Hope is a bastard
C/EC/E
Hope is a liar
FF (9 fr.)
A augmentedA cheat and a tease
Dm7(4)
Hope comes near you?
G+G
Kick it's backside
C/EC/E       FF (9 fr.)	     C majorC   G+G
Got no place in days like these

Dm7(4)  G+G  E minorEm  FF (repeat 3 times)

Am7(4)          C/GC/G
Just as she's thinking of pulling the blind down
F(9)/A             Csus4Csus4
A augmentedA rocket bursts in front of her eyes
Dm7(4)
The city lit up like a crown on London
    C majorC         FF (2 fr.)     F6F6
And she tries and fails to stop spirits rise

Dm7(4)
You know what hope is?
G+G
Hope is a bastard
C/EC/E
Hope is a liar
FF (9 fr.)
A augmentedA cheat and a tease
Dm7(4)
Hope comes near you?

Got no place in days like these
