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
