lyrics for verse 2:
So, hard, when your far away.
It's, lame, but I forgot the date.
I, won't, make the same mistake.
I'm sole to blame.
So now you know,
Don't hang up the phone,
I wish I was at home,
I know it's way too late,
But Happy Birthday.
Chorus(refer back to other chorus)
[Bridge]
Guitars 1&2:
A(continuous strum, x16)
It's not that, I don't care,
C#mOR Dbm(continuous strum, x16)
You know I'll make it up to you.
A(continuous strum, x16)
If I could, I'd be there.
Back to chorus, just the back vocals (Yea yea whoa oh)
Vocalist starts singing again at (Well I miss you too)
And then a repeat of the chorus with continuous strum, no x2..
