E   Eb   G#m   B



🎸 Verse 1:
         E                     Eb
Eleventh of May, today is your birthday
   F#m                                C#m
Wherever you may be in that place we all will go some day
             E                        Eb
I think of your Mama
I think of your brother:
      F#m                            C#m
Your Daddy said you left before you really went away
               E   Eb
And you went away

🎸 Chorus:
        E
We all make a mess of living
        Eb
We all try to carry on
G#m                          B
We try to make the best of it until the day we're done
           E
We've all got a hurt we're hiding
           Eb
We've all got someone we mourn
   G#m
For me
I am just grateful
      B
I am grateful you were born
          E                              C#m
You were born, you were born, you were born

🎸 Verse 2:
             E               Eb
Last time I saw you: in our apartment
F#m                                 C#m
Putting everything you owned into a bag slung on your back
             E                       Eb
I found some pictures, we were just kids, yeah
F#m                                C#m
Playing hard at grownups 'til our problems got too big
                        E   Eb
And you know that they did

🎸 Chorus:
        E
We all make a mess of living
        Eb
We all try to carry on
G#m                          B
We try to make the best of it until the day we're done
           E
We've all got a hurt we're hiding
           Eb
We've all got someone we mourn
   G#m
For me
I am just grateful
      B
I am grateful you were born
          E
You were born, you were born
          Eb
You were born, you were born
          G#m
You were born, you were born
          B
You were born
You

🎸 Outro:
       E                         Eb
I can see you in the half-light laughing like it's alright
G#m                      B
Frozen in a moment like time's on your side
   E
I see you when I close my eyes
Eb
Maybe we're just ghosts now
G#m                B
Maybe we don't realise
                        E
Hmm thank God you were born
                         Eb
You were born, you were born
                                   G#m
You were born, thank God you were born
                          B
You were born, you were born
                                    E
You were born, thank God you were born
                         Eb
You were born, you were born
                    G#m
Thank God you were born
