Birthday

	  		
verse 1 
Gb                      Db 
You would always show up late 
Gb                       Db 
A deck of excuses in your hands 
Ebm            Gb       Db 
I would be the first to claim I didn't mind 
       Gb         Db 
I understand 
Gb                         Db 
I put all my songs into a tape 
Gb                               Db 
All my words you held inside your hand 
    Ebm               Gb        Db 
And I don't think you ever even listened to them once 
       Gb         Db 
I understand 


Pre-Chorus 
         Ebm                  Gb                 Bbm 
Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show 
               Ebm                 Gb                 Bbm    Ab 
You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known 


Bbm                   Gb 
You're not here again, I'm not surprised 
Db                     Fm 
I hate how long it took to realize 
Bbm                   Gb 
You don't remember or you just don't care 
Db                  Ab 
Today's my birthday 
           Bbm       Gb 
And you're still not there 
       Db        Ab 
You're still not there 



verse 2 
Gb                      Db 
Sat crossed legged by the phone 
Gb                       Db 
It's 2 AM, the candles all burned out 
Ebm            Gb       Db 
And I could pretend that it's okay 
       Gb         Db 
I understand, but I don't 


Pre-Chorus 
         Ebm                  Gb                 Bbm 
Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show 
               Ebm                 Gb                 Bbm    Ab 
And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone 


Bbm                   Gb 
You're not here again, I'm not surprised 
Db                     Fm 
I hate how long it took to realize 
Bbm                   Gb 
You don't remember or you just don't care 
Db                  Ab 
Today's my birthday 
           Bbm       Gb 
And you're still not there 
       Db        Ab 
You're still not there 



Bridge 
Ebm               Gb                  Ab Bbm    Gb 
I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday 
Ebm               Gb                  Ab Bbm    Gb 
I never asked for anything more than happy birthday 


Bbm                   Gb 
You're not here again, I'm not surprised 
Db                     Fm 
I hate how long it took to realize 
Bbm 
That you don't remember, do you? 
Gb 
Or you don't care 
Db                  Ab 
Today's my birthday 
           Bbm       Gb 
And you're still not there 
       Db        Ab 
You're still not there 



Outro 
       Bbm       Gb 
You're still not there 
       Db        Ab 
You're still not there
