Verse 1:
      G
Said you'd be there
      C         Em  C
Said you'd be there from the start
      G
Said you'd be there
      C        Em  C
Said you'd be there and you are

       G
You took for granted
     C          Em   C
Seeds we planted when we were young
        G
And you're the comfort
      C         Em   C
You're the dock leaf when I'm stung


Chorus:
  G                Am
And oh, surely these candles aren't mine
             C          G
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
                 Am
And oh, I feel like we're growing old
             C
Faster than what we were told
           G
And who cares when we go?


Verse 2:
      G
So will you be there?
     C          Em   C
When I'm broken, bruised and stuck
        G
'Cause I don't read much
      C             Em  C
But I like doing things by the book

    G
I will try to
    C       Em   C
I will try to leave a mark
       G
But we're designed to
     C         Em   C
We're designed to fade like scars


Chorus:
  G                Am
And oh, surely these candles aren't mine
             C          G
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
                 Am
And oh, I feel like we're growing old
             C
Faster than what we were told
           G
Who will care when we go?
