Happy Birthday

Em  D  G  C
Em  D  G  C
            happy birthday
Em  D  G  C
Em  D               G  C
     so make a wish

[Verse 1]
                   Em                      D
Please accept my apologies, I wonder what would have been
                 G                       C
Would you have been a little angel or an angel of sin
     Em                 D
Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys
      G                    C
Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes
                   Em                  D
I paid for the murder before they determined the sex
         G                  C
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
    Em                             D
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
           G                          C
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life
                Em                      D
Would you have been a little genius, in love with math?
                 G                                C
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad
               Em                             D
Would you have been a little rapper like your poppa the piper
                 G                       C
Would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters
   Em                               D
I wonder about your skin tone and shape of your nose
         G                                  C
And the way you would've laughed and talked fast or slow
         Em                        D
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
      G                       C
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would've been

[Chorus]

Happy birthday    (What I thought was a dream)       make a wish
Em          D                  G   C
    (Was as real as it seemed)       Happy birthday
Em          D                  G   C
 (What I thought was a dream)        make a wish
Em          D                  G    C
    (Was as real as it seemed    I made a mistake)

[Verse 2]
         Em                    D
I got a million excuses, as to why you died
           G                           C
And other people got their own reasons for homicide
         Em                                   D
Who's to say it would've worked and who's to say it wouldn't have
         G                          C
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad
     Em                          D
The fear of being my father has never disappeared
  G                               C
I ponder it frequently while I'm sippin' on my beer
    Em                        D
My vision of a family was artificial and fake
            G                     C
So when it came time to create, I made a mistake
         Em                   D
Now you got a little brother, maybe it's really you
 G                          C
Maybe you really forgave us knowing we were confused
Em                        D
Maybe, every time that he smiles it's you proudly
G                                     C
knowing that your father's doin' the right thing now
     Em                         D
I'll never tell a woman what to do with her body
            G                        C
But if she don't love children, then we can't party
          Em                      D
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
         G                    C
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would've been

[Chorus]
      Em                   D                  G   C
Happy birthday    (What I thought was a dream)       make a wish
Em          D                  G   C
    (Was as real as it seemed)       Happy birthday
Em          D                  G   C
 (What I thought was a dream)        make a wish
Em          D                  G    C
    (Was as real as it seemed    I made a mistake)

[Verse 3]
             Em                         D
And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
         G                            C
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin
      Em                  D
Maybe one day we can meet face to face
     G                        C
In a place without time and space happy birthday
          Em                         D
From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
         G                            C
From the ending to the ending, never got to begin
      Em                   D
Maybe one day we can meet face to face
     G                        C
In a place without time and space, happy birthday

[Chorus]
      Em                   D                  G   C
Happy birthday    (What I thought was a dream)       make a wish
Em          D                  G   C
    (Was as real as it seemed)       Happy birthday
Em          D                  G   C
 (What I thought was a dream)        make a wish
Em          D                  G    C
    (Was as real as it seemed    I made a mistake)
