Death For My Birthday
Say Anything
Alright let's start up, The correct chord chart has been put off long enough! I'm 
putting an end to the tyrannous reign of the four chord one. so here we go!
V1 - C - V2 - B - C - O
G#m7:  4x444x     C#m7:     x424xx
B:     x2444x     Ebm:      x646xx     
C#m7:  x4244x     E:        x769xx
Emaj7: 02244x     F#:       x9(11)(11)xx
F#sus4:224322     Badd9/C#: x4444x
                  Emaj7/C#: x4244x
[Verse 1]
Let me G#m7guide you through the story of a bBoy and his curseC#m7  
Tiny G#m7diamonds in his stroller with his Emaj7first step F#sus4chasing the hearseC#m7  
Denied a cup that was G#m7half way filled
Looking C#m7forward to the dEbmay he pEaid that dF#rinking bill
G#m7There's no peace no more qBuiet on this earthC#m9  
He can G#m7finally nestle tightly in Emaj7that womb F#sus4beneath the dirtC#m9  
Hurt no more, and when G#m7he turned 24
He wrote a C#m7note to nEbmail to Egod's fF#ront door that said:
[Chorus]
BI want death, Badd9/C#death for my birthday
Emaj7I want death, Emaj7/C#death in the worst way
BI want death, Badd9/C#death for my birthday
Emaj7Don't get me wrong cause
BI love life, bBadd9/C#ut life has a boyfriend
Emaj7Bless my soul Emaj7/C#I'm out to destroy them
BI want death, Badd9/C#death for my birthdayEmaj7  
[Verse 2] (Same rhythm and chords as verse one)
Found a high paying job, and the love of his life
They rode a rollercoastser ride of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Prayed each night to his cross of a charm
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
[Bridge]
I'll Bnever lose aG#m7nother friend agF#sus4ain
Or BWatch them start a G#m7war that's fought
For F#sus4ideals that are dead
I'll Bnever have an G#m7argument agF#sus4ain
Because Emaj7my dust
Will be Byour salt
And Emaj7my blood
Will hyBdrate you up
Emaj7My heart
Will be Byour meal
And I won't Emaj7ride the cycle of the way
It Bkills to think and feel no more no
[Outro] (chorus chords)
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat
He fell so fast beneath all out feet
Through bugs and snakes
Last words he had to say were:
Help me claw my way tot eh surface
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
just one more
just one more birthday

[Verse 1]

G#m7 B C#m7

Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse

G#m7 Emaj7 F#sus4 C#m7

Tiny diamonds in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse

G#m7

Denied a cup that was half way filled

C#m7 Ebm E F#

Looking forward to the day he paid that drinking bill

G#m7 B C#m9

There's no peace no more quiet on this earth

G#m7 Emaj7 F#sus4 C#m9

He can finally nestle tightly in that womb beneath the dirt

G#m7

Hurt no more, and when he turned 24

C#m7 Ebm E F#

He wrote a note to nail to god's front door that said:

[Chorus]

B Badd9/C#

Prayed each night to his cross of a charm

For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm

[Bridge]

B G#m7 F#sus4

I'll never lose another friend again

B G#m7

Or Watch them start a war that's fought

F#sus4

For ideals that are dead

B G#m7 F#sus4

I'll never have an argument again

Emaj7

Because my dust

Will be your salt

Emaj7

And my blood

Will hydrate you up

Emaj7

My heart

Will be your meal

Emaj7

And I won't ride the cycle of the way

It kills to think and feel no more no

[Outro] (chorus chords)

One sweet day his heart ceased to beat

He fell so fast beneath all out feet

Through bugs and snakes
