Today is my birthday, so I figured I'd finally submit some easy acoustic chords for my favorite bday song.
         G                 Cadd9
It is my birthday, It is a new year.
            G                Cadd9
I should be happy, that I am still here.
           G                    Cadd
Light up a new joint, Put on an old shirt.
       G                       Cadd9
Try to remember, forget how my brain works.
            Em7                             D
But I could read a book a night before this year.
           Em7                            D
And I knew every word, their definition's clear.
           Em7                              D
But now in stealth I check thesaurus - it's become my guilty mistress.
     Cadd9
So I heave my breath at burning wax,
       Cadd9
cause I know that spark ain't coming back.
      Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
           Cadd9 (one open strum)
cause that spark ain't coming back.
         G                         Cadd9
It is my birthday, I've got all my friends here.
                G                                 Cadd9
We haven't been talking as of lately, They've all found new bros and babies.
       G
I have smoked away my pride,
       Cadd9
I have smoked away my pride.
         Em7                           D
There is nothing but the cinders of it inside.
      Em7                                    D
But I believed in more than nothingness last year,
          Em7                            D
and under every quiet failure it's still here.
       Em7                                     D
Buried breathing under 18 years of tragedy and fear.
           Cadd9
If I could crawl my way out of this grave,
     Cadd
just think of all the time I'd save.
      Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
             Cadd (one final open strum)
because that spark ain't coming back again.
  G                                       Cadd9
(Stereo's playing the same old songs, the same old songs, but we still hum along)
[X4]
       G                                 Cadd9
And in no time we'll be spread across the earth,
        G                                  Cadd9
donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth.
         Em7                      D
From our Huggies to Armani and it all seems so rehearsed.
     Cadd9
So I heave my breath at burning wax,
       Cadd9
cause I know that spark ain't coming back.
      Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
       Cadd9 (one final open strum)
cause that spark ain't coming back.
            G
...It is my birthday.
