Birthday Song

G
Eight years old to the day
C
You blew your candles off the cake
Em            D
Wishing too hard for them to stay
C
You burnt the house down

G
She held the match, he held her face
C
You learned to hate your birthday
Em             D
Calling her bitch, despite your wish
C
They had to separate

C          Bm
And the room sings
D          Em
And it sounds like leaving home
C          Bm      D
And the room sings
  Em
"We know something you don't"

G  Em  D  C   (x2)

G
Now he’s quite the stand-up guy
C
He's stood you up 'least twelve times
Em              D
And when he finally does arrive
C
He brings his new wife

G
The family shrink from second floor
G
The one he claimed he couldn’t afford
Em             D
Your mother cries, clings to the floor
C
You knock his lights out

C         Bm
And the room sings
D         Em
And it sounds like leaving home
C         Bm       D
And the room sings
  Em
"We know something you don't"

G  Em  D  C   (x2)

C         Bm
And the room sings
D         Em
And it sounds like leaving home
C         Bm   D
The room sings
   Em                 C
"We know something you don't"
      Bm        D
The room sings
       Em
And it sounds like there's no love
