Birthday chords by Maisie Peters

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

Pre-Chorus
         Ebm                  Gb                 Bbm
Waiting around, still halfway hopeful that you'll show
               Ebm                 Gb                 Bbm    Ab
You said you'd call, of course you won't, I should've known


Bbm                   Gb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
Db                     Fm
I hate how long it took to realize
Bbm                   Gb
You don't remember or you just don't care
Db                  Ab
Today's my birthday
           Bbm       Gb
And you're still not there
       Db        Ab
You're still not there


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


Pre-Chorus
         Ebm                  Gb                 Bbm
Waited around, I should've known, you wouldn't show
               Ebm                 Gb                 Bbm    Ab
And I'm just a fool who spent her birthday all alone


Bbm                   Gb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
Db                     Fm
I hate how long it took to realize
Bbm                   Gb
You don't remember or you just don't care
Db                  Ab
Today's my birthday
           Bbm       Gb
And you're still not there
       Db        Ab
You're still not there


Bridge
Ebm               Gb                  Ab Bbm    Gb
I never asked for anything more than one happy birthday
Ebm               Gb                  Ab Bbm    Gb
I never asked for anything more than happy birthday


Bbm                   Gb
You're not here again, I'm not surprised
Db                     Fm
I hate how long it took to realize
Bbm
That you don't remember, do you?
Gb
Or you don't care
Db                  Ab
Today's my birthday
           Bbm       Gb
And you're still not there
       Db        Ab
You're still not there


Outro
       Bbm       Gb
You're still not there
       Db        Ab
You're still not there
