Title: Picture Window 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
On the ward, with a Cview of a parliament Ghill Dm7[4] F[9] C But the view offers more joy than they can afford GWhen there's this much pain to kill
Dm7[4] You know what hope is?
GHope is a bastard C/EHope is a liar F[9] A cheat and a tease Dm7[4] Hope comes near you? GKick 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
As the Gfireworks streak the sky F[9] C And their window gives them the prettiest picture Their uGseless luck makes her wanna cry F[9] C Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent AnoGther Mum gives her some sparkling wine F[9] C And she nearly gives in to the moment But she'll Gstill be sick in 2009
Dm7[4] You know what hope is?
GHope is a bastard C/EHope is a liar F[9] A cheat and a tease Dm7[4] Hope comes near you? GKick 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?
GHope is a bastard C/EHope is a liar F[9] A cheat and a tease Dm7[4] Hope comes near you? GKick it's backside C/E F[9] Got no place in days like these
Dm7[4] You know what hope is?
GHope is a bastard C/EHope is a liar F[9] A cheat and a tease Dm7[4] Hope comes near you? GKick it's backside C/E F[9] C/E G F[9] C /E G Got no place in days like these
