[Intro}
D MajorD  E minorEm C majorC
D MajorD  E minorEm C majorC

Verse 1:
     D MajorD       E minorEm
 You can pick yourself up
     C majorC
 You can start walking straight
  D MajorD        E minorEm     C majorC
 Tonight you're the life of the party
     D MajorD        E minorEm     C majorC
 When the bar lights come on at your paper parade
   D MajorD       E minorEm       C majorC
 You don't have to chase down the moon
    D MajorD       E minorEm      C majorC
 'Cause I'll leave the light on for you

Chorus:
        C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 It's not your birthday
   A minorAm      G+G      D MajorD
 And it's not the Fourth of July
       C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 Tomorrow's a work day
       A minorAm     G+G      D MajorD
 You've got a life and a spaceship to fly
       C majorC G+G D MajorD     A minorAm    G+G       D MajorD
 You've got a woman  and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter
       C majorC   G+G D MajorD
 Come back to earth, kid
          A minorAm       G+G     D MajorD
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater, water


Verse 2:
     D MajorD      E minorEm
 You can play all the notes
     C majorC
 You can write all the words
   D MajorD      E minorEm     C majorC
 You headlined in all the big cities
       D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC
 But when the spotlights are off and the crowds have gone home
   D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC
 You could be going home too

Chorus:
        C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 It's not your birthday
 A minorAm     G+G     D MajorD
 This isn't Mardi Gras either
       C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 Tomorrow's a work day
       A minorAm     G+G      D MajorD
 You've got a life and a spaceship to fly
       C majorC G+G D MajorD     A minorAm    G+G       D MajorD
 You've got a woman  and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter
       C majorC   G+G D MajorD
 Come back to earth, kid
          A minorAm       G+G     D MajorD
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater, water


Chorus:
          C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 No, it's not your birthday
        A minorAm     G+G     D MajorD
 You should be done waking up on the floor
       C majorC   G+G D MajorD
 Come back to earth, kid
        A minorAm      G+G   D MajorD
 Don't you know you're not a kid anymore?
        C majorC  G+G D MajorD
 You married a good girl
          A minorAm    G+G       D MajorD
 She gave you this beautiful yellow-haired daughter
       C majorC   G+G D MajorD
 Come back to earth, kid
          A minorAm       G+G     D MajorD
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater, water, water
