The Day I Was Born chords by Ed Sheeran

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Verse 1:
      C                       F
Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here
          G
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'
           C                         F
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
         G
The only plus is the sweater I needed
         C                    F
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
             G
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone
            C                    F
This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes
           G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dm                    C                       G
  I hit her mom and I asked, "Arе you comin' over "
Dm                    C                            G
  And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know"


🎸 Chorus:
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
           G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
               C           F
And they don't want to celebrate
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
           C                             F
Always the month when parties come to an end
           G
The same excuses from every friend
        C                        F
Another year and now we're here again
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


🎸 Post-Chorus:
                  C
Another birthday alone
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
                  C
Another birthday alone
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay


🎸 Verse 2:
        C                     F
I hit a bar in town, get my account, start a tav
     G
Everyday that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back
         C                         F
And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack
           G
And end up talkin' to strangers and findin' another plaque
       C                    F
I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own
         G
Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone
          C                  F
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know
              G
I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   Dm                 C                    G
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm                     C            G
  I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row


🎸 Chorus:
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
           G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
               C           F
And they don't want to celebrate
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
           C                             F
Always the month when parties come to an end
           G
The same excuses from every friend
        C                        F
Another year and now we're here again
       G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


🎸 Post-Chorus:
                  C
Another birthday alone
      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
