Death For My Birthday (acoustic)

	  		
CAPO1 
Em                                           C 
Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse 
Em                     C                        G 
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse 
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled 
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill 
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth 
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt 
Hurt no more and when he turned 24 
He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said 

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

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

Em                                         C                                        G 
From the high paying job and the love of his life 
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night 
They made a baby in unmentionable ways 
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day 
And underneath he thought this is all a phase 
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great 
Pray each night to his cross of a charm 
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm 

Em 
I want death 
C 
Death for my birthday 
Am 
I want death 
F 
Death in the worst way 
Em 
I want death 
Am

Am                G 
Don't get me wrong cause..

C 
For my birthday 
                                                  

   Am                     C 
I'll never lose another friend again 
Em                                               Am                                            C 
Or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead 
Am                       C 
I'll never have an argument again 
Am      Em 
Because my dust 
Am         Em 
will be your salt 
Am          F           G 
My blood will hydrate you off 
C                 Am 
My heart will be your meal 
           F                              G 
And I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel 

No more, no

For my birthday 

Em                        C 
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat 
Em                         Am 
He fell so fast beneath all our feet 
F                G 
Through bugs and snakes 
Am                     C 
Last words he had to say were 
Em                          C 
Help me claw my way to the surface 
Em                           Am 
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this 
F                              G 
Just one more, just one more birthday
