Hopeless Bleak Despair

  E                    B7
I never knew what everybody meant
   C#m                B7
By endless, hopeless, bleak despair
G#m                  C#m
Until one day when I found out
    F#m                       B7
The first time I ever left my house
   G#m                    C#m
It saw me and followed me home
    F#m                         B
And stayed with me for my whole life

[Pre Chorus]

    A         G#m     F#m          E
For years and years I wandered the earth
   A           G#m     F#m   E
Condemned to a life of bleak despair
B     A   G#m  F#m      A
Then, one day, I looked around
    G#m          F#m  E
And found it had disappeared

[Chorus]

         B        E
Hopeless bleak despair
        B     E
It was always there
   A        G#m        F#m  E
And then, one day, it disappeared
     B        E
In a puff of smoke
      G#            A
In an unceremonious way
    G#m     F#m E
One day, it disappeared

[Verse 2]

E                      B7
All I had ever wanted in my life
  C#m          B7
Was only to be free of it
   G#m           C#m
It drove away my family
   F#m             B7
It made me lose my job
G#m              C#m
Whenever anybody saw it
F#m                    B
They'd say "get out of here"

[Pre Chorus]

    A         G#m     F#m          E
For years and years I wandered the earth
   A           G#m     F#m   E
Condemned to a life of bleak despair
B     A   G#m  F#m      A
Then, one day, I looked around
    G#m          F#m  E
And found it had disappeared

[Chorus]

         B        E
Hopeless bleak despair
        B     E
It was always there
   A        G#m        F#m E
And then, one day, it disappeared
     B        E
In a puff of smoke
      G#            A
In an unceremonious way
    G#m     F#m E
One day, it disappeared

[Bridge]

E  A        G#m      F#m
   Hopeless bleak despair
   B        A        G#m
   Hopeless bleak despair
   B        A        B   A G#m F#m
   Hopeless bleak despair

[Pre Chorus]

    A         G#m     F#m          E
For years and years I wandered the earth
  A     G#m      F#m     E
Until I died and went to hell
          B    A   G#m         F#m
But my despair had ascended to heaven
       A     G#m         F#m    E
That's how I finally got rid of it

[Chorus]

         B        E
Hopeless bleak despair
        B     E
It was always there
    A         G#m     F#m E
And then, one day, it disappeared
     B        E
In a puff of smoke
      G#            A
In an unceremonious way
    G#m     F#m E
One day, it disappeared
         B        E
Hopeless bleak despair
        B     E
It was always there
    A         G#m     F#m  E
And then, one day, it disappeared
     B        E
In a puff of smoke
      G#            A
In an unceremonious way
    G#m     F#m E
One day, it disappeared
