Birthday chords by Maisie Peters

Chords with lyrics

verse 1
GbGb           DbDb
You would always show up late
GbGb            DbDb
A augmentedA deck of excuses in your hands
EbmEbm      GbGb    DbDb
I would be the first to claim I didn't mind
    GbGb     DbDb
I understand
GbGb             DbDb
I put all my songs into a tape
GbGb                DbDb
All my words you held inside your hand
  EbmEbm        GbGb    DbDb
And I don't think you ever even listened to them once
    GbGb     DbDb
I understand

Pre-Chorus
     EbmEbm         GbGb         BbmBbm
Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show
        EbmEbm         GbGb         BbmBbm  AbAb
You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known


BbmBbm          GbGb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
DbDb           F minorFm
I hate how long it took to realize
BbmBbm          GbGb
You don't remember or you just don't care
DbDb         AbAb
Today's my birthday
      BbmBbm    GbGb
And you're still not there
    DbDb    AbAb
You're still not there


verse 2
GbGb           DbDb
Sat crossed legged by the phone
GbGb            DbDb
It's 2 AM, the candles all burned out
EbmEbm      GbGb    DbDb
And I could pretend that it's okay
    GbGb     DbDb
I understand, but I don't

Pre-Chorus
     EbmEbm         GbGb         BbmBbm
Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show
        EbmEbm         GbGb         BbmBbm  AbAb
And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone


BbmBbm          GbGb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
DbDb           F minorFm
I hate how long it took to realize
BbmBbm          GbGb
You don't remember or you just don't care
DbDb         AbAb
Today's my birthday
      BbmBbm    GbGb
And you're still not there
    DbDb    AbAb
You're still not there


Bridge
EbmEbm        GbGb         AbAb BbmBbm  GbGb
I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday
EbmEbm        GbGb         AbAb BbmBbm  GbGb
I never asked for anything more than happy birthday


BbmBbm          GbGb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
DbDb           F minorFm
I hate how long it took to realize
BbmBbm
That you don't remember, do you?
GbGb
Or you don't care
DbDb         AbAb
Today's my birthday
      BbmBbm    GbGb
And you're still not there
    DbDb    AbAb
You're still not there


Outro
    BbmBbm    GbGb
You're still not there
    DbDb    AbAb
You're still not there
