🎸 Verse 1:
F minorFm               BbmBbm
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
          C majorC
What a rhapsody of fear
   BbmBbm    DbDb   F minorFm
Let's strum the harp of pointlessness
    DbDb   C majorC   F minorFm
You survived another year

🎸 Verse 2:
F minorFm
Each little candle a tiny death knell
 BbmBbm
A augmentedA snickering footman, a tolling bell;
C majorC
One for deception, one for a crime
           AbAb
And one for a dream extinguished by time

🎸 Verse 3:
  F minorFm
Our lives are brief shuffles down the gangplank of pain
      BbmBbm
'till we're just an old sponge cake left out in the rain
C majorC
Stumbling to oblivion from embryo to ghost;
                   AbAb       G7G7
So let's charge our dirty glasses and raise a futile toast:

🎸 Bridge:
  F minorFm            C majorC       F minorFm
"To you, and your meaningless milestone of decay"

| F minorFm | % | % | % |

F minorFm
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
BbmBbm       C majorC
  like anybody cares

    AbAb
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie!
               F minorFm
It's a cake in the shape of a lie

🎸 Outro:
  DbDb
Why use that knife to cut the cake?
  F minorFm
Why here's the reaper scythe
G7G7
Happy Birthday, Cheeky Chops
   C majorC     BbmBbm    F minorFm
It's not every day you're five
