     E MajorE      A augmentedA
Birthday boy can't explain
     AbmAbm C# minorC#m     BB
Christmas eve  he's born again
    E MajorE       A augmentedA
On the line a broken train
   AbmAbm   C# minorC#m    BB
Going nowhere  endless rain

     E MajorE    A augmentedA
Birthday boy so afraid
      Abm7Abm7  C# minorC#m     BB
Plays the machines  in the arcade

         E MajorE
Oh baby do you remember
         A augmentedA
He's been through all this before
     Abm7Abm7  C# minorC#m    BB
Spent the summer  getting nowhere
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
Taking all of the blame for the city
   Abm7Abm7  C# minorC#m        BB
Calculating  from pain comes pity


     E MajorE       A augmentedA
Christmas Eve a time of joy
     AbmAbm  C# minorC#m      BB
If you believe  in Birthday boy
      E MajorE          A augmentedA
This time around it's all a mistake
    AbmAbm  C# minorC#m      BB
Is he deluded   or just a fake

         E MajorE
Oh baby do you remember
         A augmentedA
He's been through all this before
     Abm7Abm7  C# minorC#m    BB
Spent the summer  getting nowhere
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
Taking all of the blame for the city
   Abm7Abm7  C# minorC#m        BB
Calculating  from pain comes pity


Cmaj7Cmaj7         E minorEm
   If you knew his name
Cmaj7Cmaj7          E minorEm
   Would you feel the same
C# minorC#m          F#F#
   If you knew his name
