It's your birthday, come to the kitchen

We're gonna sing now, so sit and listen
   F                     G        C
Oh wait, you're changing faces

I hope we get the nice version tonight
                                                F G     C
Tired of the mean one and I don't want to fight


[Pre Chorus]
               G                     C       Am
Everyone who's patient enough to put up with you
   F        G                      C
Is gathered around to sing and eat cake
            G                       C    Am
I got you a hat, but where will you wear it?
F            G                                C
Difficult to choose when you're more than two-faced


[Chorus]
Am         G                  C
I gave you space and time and I hoped you'd make up your mind
    F                 G           C
You took my time and you threw me away
Am         G                  C Am G      F
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
G
Happy fucking Birthday

It's your birthday, you'll get your way now

When you're the king though, that's every day now
    F        G      C
Our glorious leader

Among your subjects universally known
                                           F G   C
And I'm here with them but I feel so alone


[Pre Chorus]
             G                  C      Am
Everyone you haven't managed to drive away
   F             G            C
Is out spreading lies in your name
              G                   C        Am
You've talked down about everyone here with me
        F         G                    C
And I'm sure with them you've done the same


[Chorus]
Am         G                  C
I gave you space and time and I hoped you'd make up your mind
    F                 G           C
You took my time and you threw me away
Am         G                  C Am G      F
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
G
Happy fucking Birthday


[Chorus 2]
Am         Em              F    C
And we all kinda hate each other
Am         Em           F       C
And we all only want to win you over
        D     Am
Oh, but now I see
           D                Am
You played party games with me
    F                                                                                    C
You blew out the candles and I made a wish that this time next year I'd be far away from here

                  G
Happy Birthday to you
                  C
Happy Birthday to you
                      C#
Happy Birthday dear...


[Chorus]
C          G                  C
I gave you space and time and I hoped you'd make up your mind
    F                 G           C
You took my time and you threw me away
C          G                  C Am G      F       G
I gave you space and time and you gave me nothing
N.C.
I learned my lesson
