C                                      Am             
Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
 C                                       Am                     Dm
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse
                   G
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
            Em                     F             G
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
C                           Am        
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
     C                                Am
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
 F                   G
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
    Em                      C    G                 
He wrote a note to nail to God's 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                        Am
From the high paying job and the love of his life
    C                               Am
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night
  Dm                  G
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
        Em                        F              G   C
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
                             Am
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
      C                             Am
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
 Dm                 G
Pray each night to his cross of a charm
          Em                      F            G
For the one thing he couldn't 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                                             F
Or watch them start a war that's 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                          F
And I won't ride the cycle of the 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                                F 
Just one more, just one more birthday
