Verse 1:
G+G             C majorC
 Eight years old to the day
                E minorEm
You blew your candles off the cake
      D MajorD         C majorC
Wishing too hard for them to stay

You burnt the house down

Verse 2:
G+G                 C majorC
 She held the match, he held her face

You learned to hate your birthday
E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC
 Calling her bitch, despite your wish

They had to separate


Chorus:
C majorC      B minorBm
 And the room sings
D MajorD      E minorEm        C majorC
 And it sounds like leaving home
     B minorBm
And the room sings
D MajorD  E minorEm          G+G    E minorEm  B minorBm  C majorC
   "We know something you don't"

G+G E minorEm B minorBm C majorC

Verse 3:
G+G               C majorC
 Now he’s quite the stand-up guy
                 E minorEm
He's stood you up 'least twelve times
       D MajorD      C majorC
And when he finally does arrive

He brings his new wife

Verse 4:
G+G                C majorC
 The family shrink from second floor
                 E minorEm
The one he claimed he couldn’t afford
       D MajorD          C majorC
Your mother cries, clings to the floor

You knock his lights out


Chorus:
C majorC      B minorBm
 And the room sings
D MajorD      E minorEm        C majorC
 And it sounds like leaving home

The room sings
D MajorD     E minorEm
 And it sounds like there's no love
