Death 4 My Birthday

 C                                 
Let me guide you through the story 
     Am
of a boy and his curse
 C                               
Tiny diamond in his stroller with 
        Am                     Dm
his first step chasing the hearse
                   G
Sippin' at a cup that's half way 
filled
            Em                   
But looking forward to the day he 
  F             G
pays that drinking bill
C                           Am
There's no peace, there's no quiet 
on this earth
     C                             
He confided, nestled tightly in 
   Am
that womb beneath the dirt
 F                   G
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
    Em                      C    
He wrote a note to nail to God's 
G
front door that said

[Chorus]
C
I want death

Death for my birthday
F
I want death
Death in the worst way
C
I want death
                F
Death for my birthday

Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life

But life has a boyfriend
 G
Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them
 C
I want death
                 F
Death for my birthday

F F F

[Verse 2]
          C                     
From the high paying job and the 
   Am
love of his life
    C                           
He rode a roller coaster ride of 
    Am
lust on their wedding night
  Dm                  G
They made a baby in unmentionable 
ways
Continues after the ad
        Em                        
He was ungrateful as a man could 
F              G   C
be on that blessed day
                             Am
And underneath he thought this is 
all a phase
      C                          
Just a blip in the existence of a 
   Am
structure vast and great
 Dm                 G
Pray each night to his cross of a 
charm
          Em                      
For the one thing he couldn't 
F            G
afford just to buy the farm

[Chorus]
C
I want death

Death for my birthday
F
I want death

Death in the worst way
C
I want death
                F
Death for my birthday

Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life

But life has a boyfriend
 G
Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them
 C
I want death
                 F
Death for my birthday

F   F    F

[Bridge]
     C                          F
I'll never lose another friend again
C                              
Or watch them start a war that's 
               F
fought for ideals that are dead
    G
I'll never have an argument again
      F
Because my dust
         C
will be your salt
F                 C
My blood will hydrate you all
G                  Am
My heart will be your meal
              C                  
And I won't ride the cycle of the 
        F
way it kills to think and feel
No more, no

[Chorus]
C
I want death

Death for my birthday
F
I want death
Death in the worst way
C
I want death
                F
Death for my birthday

Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life

But life has a boyfriend
 G
Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them
 C
I want death
                 F
Death for my birthday


C
One sweet day his heart ceased to 
beat
    F
He fell so fast beneath all our feet
       C
Through bugs and snakes
                     F
Last words he had to say were
  Am
Help me claw my way to the surface
F
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve 
this
 C                          
Just one more, just one more 
      F
birthday
