Death 4 My Birthday

	  		
verse 1 
 C                                      Am              
Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse 
 C                                       Am                     Dm 
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse 
                   G 
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled 
            Em                                  G 
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill 
C                           Am        C 
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth 
                       Am      
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt 
 F                   G 
Hurt no more and when he turned 24 
    Em                      C    G                  
He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said 

 
C 
I want death 

Death for my birthday 
F 
I want death 
Death in the worst way 
C 
I want death       
                F 
Death for my birthday 
                        
Don't get me wrong cause.. 
Am 
I love life 

But life has a boyfriend 
 G 
Bless my soul 
                      
I'm out to destroy them 
 C 
I want death 
                 F 
Death for my birthday

verse 2 
          C 
From the high paying job and the love of his life 
                                   Am 
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night 
  Dm                  G 
They made a baby in unmentionable ways 
        Em                        F              G   C 
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day 
                                          Am 
And underneath he thought this is all a phase 

Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great 
 Dm                 G 
Pray each night to his cross of a charm 
          Em                      F            G 
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm 

 
C 
I want death 

Death for my birthday 
F 
I want death 

Death in the worst way 
C 
I want death       
                F 
Death for my birthday 
                        
Don't get me wrong cause.. 
Am 
I love life 

But life has a boyfriend 
 G 
Bless my soul 
                      
I'm out to destroy them 
 C 
I want death 
                 F 
Death for my birthday

Bridge 
     C                          F 
I'll never lose another friend again 
C                                             F 
Or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead 
    G 
I'll never have an argument again 
      F 
Because my dust 
         C 
will be your salt 
F                 C         F       
My blood will hydrate you all 
G                  Am 
My heart will be your meal 
              C                          F 
And I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel 
No more, no 

 
C 
I want death 

Death for my birthday 
F 
I want death 
Death in the worst way 
C 
I want death       
                F 
Death for my birthday 
                        
Don't get me wrong cause.. 
Am 
I love life 

But life has a boyfriend 
 G 
Bless my soul 
                      
I'm out to destroy them 
 C 
I want death 
                 F 
Death for my birthday 



C                  F 
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat 
C 
He fell so fast beneath all our feet 
Through bugs and snakes 
F                          C 
Last words he had to say were 
  Am           C 
Help me claw my way to the surface 

Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this 
                                F  
Just one more, just one more birthday
