Hopeless Bleak Despair They Might Be Giants
Verse 1:
I [E]never knew what everybody [B7]meant
By[C#m] endless, hopeless, b[B7]leak despair
Un[Abm]til one day when I fo[C#m]und out
Th[F#m]e first time I ever left m[B7]y house
It[Abm] saw me and followed me h[C#m]ome
And st[F#m]ayed with me for my whole life[B]
Pre Chorus:
For ye[A]ars and [Abm]years I w[F#m]andered the ear[E]th
Co[A]ndemned to a l[Abm]ife of bl[F#m]eak despa[E]ir
Th[B]en, o[A]ne da[Abm]y, I lo[F#m]oked ar[A]ound
And fou[Abm]nd it had[F#m] disappe[E]ared
Chorus:
Hopeless ble[B]ak despa[E]ir
It was alw[B]ays ther[E]e
And[A] then, on[Abm]e day, it d[F#m]isappeared[E]
In a pu[B]ff of smo[E]ke
In an[Ab] unceremonious way
On[A]e day[Abm], it d[F#m]isappear[E]ed
Verse 2:
All I had ever wanted in my life
Was only to be free of it
It drove away my family
It made me lose my job
Whenever anybody saw it
They'd say "get out of here"
Pre Chorus:
For years and years I wandered the earth
Sick of my life, looking forward to death
Then, one day, I looked around
And found it had disappeared
Chorus:
Hopeless bleak despair
It was always there
And then, one day, it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day, it disappeared
Bridge:
Hopeless bleak despair
Hopeless bleak despair
Hopeless bleak despair
Pre Chorus:
For years and years I wandered the earth
Until I died and went to hell
But my despair had ascended to heaven
That's how I finally got rid of it
Chorus:
Hopeless bleak despair
It was always there
And then, one day, it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day, it disappeared
Hopeless bleak despair
It was always there
And then, one day, it disappeared
In a puff of smoke
In an unceremonious way
One day, it disappeared
