Birthday Song

Chris Trapper


Tom: Em

    G                          Cm
One day you'll need someone to dress you
          D                          G  G/F#
You'll be spilling food down on your face
    Em                         Am7
The next day a priest will God bless you
       C                   D Dsus D
And it won't mean that you sneezed
        C       G
But the time in between
   C           G
Is lost like a dream
     E7                        Am7
Your melancholy mood comes too late
   C             D
So pick that old ass of yours
G          C
Up off the floor
    C          Dsus4    G
For tonight we celebrate

        G        G/F#
And the years go by
       G6                    G/F#
And we don't know where they went
        C        Cmaj7
We just let them fly
                 C6         Cmaj7
'Cause they were all heaven sent
         Am       Asus2
We're on borrowed time
       Am                 Asus2
And we still owe half the rent
                   G
For soaking up the sunshine
           G        G/F#
'Til we're dead and gone
         G6            G/F#
We will laugh until we drop
            C        Cmaj7
Here's your birthday song
         C6          Cmaj7
May your party never stop
        Am       Asus2
Singing on and on
       Am                 Asus2
We go stumbling down the block
               G
Soaking up the good wine

    G                          Cm
We're covered in silver confetti
          D                          G  G/F#
There's bottles all over the floor
    Em                         Am7
Just because your bank account's empty
       C                   D Dsus D
It don't mean that you're poor
        C       G
The nights just like this
   C           G
Make me feel like I'm rich
     E7                        Am7
Like the fire still burns in my core
   C             D
So raise that old glass of yours
G          C
Up towards the sky
    C          Dsus4    G
We're not counting anymore

        G        G/F#
And the years go by
       G6                    G/F#
And we don't know where they went
        C        Cmaj7
We just let them fly
                 C6         Cmaj7
'Cause they were all heaven sent
         Am       Asus2
We're on borrowed time
       Am                 Asus2
And we still owe half the rent
                   G
For soaking up the sunshine
           G        G/F#
'Til we're dead and gone
         G6            G/F#
We will laugh until we drop
            C        Cmaj7
Here's your birthday song
         C6          Cmaj7
May your party never stop
        Am       Asus2
Singing on and on
       Am                 Asus2
We go stumbling down the block
               G
Soaking up the good wine
