The Day I Was Born

[First Part]

      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                       
I want the warmth of the summer, 
  F
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                   
This is the life in the city and 
 F
that's the way it goes
           G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave
 it

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

             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                       
Always the month when parties come 
      F
to an end
           G
The same excuses from every friend
        C                      
Another year and now we're here 
  F
again
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was 
born

                  C
Another birthday alone
Continues after the ad
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
                  C
Another birthday alone
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay

[Second Part]

        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                       
And so I drink for the confidence 
  F
'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           
And I feel low, but I guess I 
         G
could feel lower
Dm                     C         
  I'm headin' down and now I'm on
   G
 a row

[Chorus]

             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                       
Always the month when parties come 
      F
to an end
           G
The same excuses from every friend
        C                      
Another year and now we're here 
  F
again
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was 
born
                  C
Another birthday alone
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

             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                       
Always the month when parties come 
      F
to an end
           G
The same excuses from every friend
        C                      
Another year and now we're here 
  F
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
