Claires Ninth

G         Em         Bm        
So, she stands and waits, and waits 
D
at the school gate.
         G          Em       Bm  
They're late. They come, so dumb,
     C                  C#dim
 in two cars when they agreed one,
C           C#dim      C
   And it's gone wrong, on her 
birthday.
G        Em     Bm        D
So, they go to Joe's for pizza and 
ice cream.
      G       Em         Bm      
They sit and stare, and Claire 
    C                     C#dim
just wants to be nine-and-a-half.
C            Em                   
  Next year, she'll tell them she 
 G6
only wants world peace.

But Claire, Claire baby,
  Bm/G     Bm            D       
I wish you knew how this all got 
Cmaj7
twisted.
  Bm/G     Bm          D     
I wish you could see right inside 
Cmaj7
us.
Bm/G        Bm          D     
Some of the stuff, the best of
Cmaj7     D         G/D
 us, that we can't get out.

What's the point of this? What's 
 D
wrong with two birthdays?
      G         Em          Bm   
It's cool. At school, her 
        C
friends, they all have two 
birthdays.
    Em        C                   
Aw jeez. He just asked the 
   Em        C
waitress out on a date on her 
birthday.

Here's the check. They pay, with 
                             G6
two cards like they've never met.
             Bm         C
Goodbyes outside. It's cold in L.A.

You're what we were. We're all

It used to be our birthday too.
