The Day I Was Born

	  		
Verse 1:
      C                       F 
Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here 
          G 
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin' 
           C                         F 
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear 
         G 
The only plus is the sweater I needed 
         C                    F 
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago 
             G 
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone 
            C                    F 
This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes 
           G 
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it 

Pre-Chorus
Dm                    C                       G 
  I hit her mom and I asked, "Arе you comin' over?" 
Dm                    C                            G 
  And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know" 


             C                 F 
And evеryone I know is hidden away 
           G 
Tryna make their bodies clean again 
               C           F 
And they don't want to celebrate 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 
           C                             F 
Always the month when parties come to an end 
           G 
The same excuses from every friend 
        C                        F 
Another year and now we're here again 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 

                  C 
Another birthday alone 
      F             G 
La-la-lay, la-la-lay 
                  C 
Another birthday alone 
      F             G 
La-la-lay, la-la-lay 


Verse 2:
        C                     F 
I hit a bar in town, get my account, start a tav 
     G 
Everyday that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back 
         C                         F 
And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack 
           G 
And end up talkin' to strangers and findin' another plaque 
       C                    F 
I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own 
         G 
Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone 
          C                  F 
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know 
              G 
I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home 

Pre-Chorus
   Dm                 C                    G 
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower 
Dm                     C            G 
  I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row 


             C                 F 
And evеryone I know is hidden away 
           G 
Tryna make their bodies clean again 
               C           F 
And they don't want to celebrate 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 
           C                             F 
Always the month when parties come to an end 
           G 
The same excuses from every friend 
        C                        F 
Another year and now we're here again 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 
                  C 
Another birthday alone 
      F             G 
La-la-lay, la-la-lay 


( C  F  G )

Pre-Chorus
Dm                  C                    G 
  I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower 
Dm                     C            G 
  I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row 


             C                 F 
And evеryone I know is hidden away 
           G 
Tryna make their bodies clean again 
               C           F 
And they don't want to celebrate 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 
           C                             F 
Always the month when parties come to an end 
           G 
The same excuses from every friend 
        C                        F 
Another year and now we're here again 
       G 
Nobody cares this is the day I was born 

                  C 
Another birthday alone 
      F             G 
La-la-lay, la-la-lay 
                  C 
Another birthday alone 
      F             G  C 
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
