🎸 Verse 1:
Fm                              Bbm
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
                   C
What a rhapsody of fear
      Bbm       Db      Fm
Let's strum the harp of pointlessness
       Db     C      Fm
You survived another year

🎸 Verse 2:
Fm
Each little candle a tiny death knell
  Bbm
A snickering footman, a tolling bell;
C
One for deception, one for a crime
                      Ab
And one for a dream extinguished by time

🎸 Verse 3:
    Fm
Our lives are brief shuffles down the gangplank of pain
            Bbm
'till we're just an old sponge cake left out in the rain
C
Stumbling to oblivion from embryo to ghost;
                                      Ab             G7
So let's charge our dirty glasses and raise a futile toast:

🎸 Bridge:
    Fm                        C              Fm
"To you, and your meaningless milestone of decay"

| Fm | % | % | % |

Fm
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
Bbm              C
    like anybody cares

       Ab
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie!
                              Fm
It's a cake in the shape of a lie

🎸 Outro:
    Db
Why use that knife to cut the cake?
    Fm
Why here's the reaper scythe
G7
Happy Birthday, Cheeky Chops
     C         Bbm        Fm
It's not every day you're five
