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
