Birthdays Acoustic chords by The Smith Street Band

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D MajorD    G+G    D MajorD     G+G    B minorBm  A augmentedA
Spent the morning cleaning my room
D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm   A augmentedA
In the hope, you'd ask to see it soon

D MajorD           G+G
Let's pretend it's our birthdays
D MajorD       G+G     B minorBm    A augmentedA
Separated by a couple of years, and I'll
D MajorD      G+G        D MajorD
Meet you on the corner of the water
G+G    D MajorD    G+G         B minorBm  A augmentedA
And the Elizabeth Street pier

D MajorD
Wanna be aloned
G+G
Wanna be surrounded
G+G
Wanna be transient
G+G       B minorBm    A augmentedA
Wanna be grounded
D MajorD          G+G        D MajorD
But all the dissonance disappears from me
G+G         D MajorD
When you drape an arm across my knee
G+G       B minorBm       A augmentedA
Intentionally, lazily and...

Bridge:
D MajorD        G+G       D MajorD   G+G
You'll be the one looking confused
D MajorD    E minorEm   D MajorD  G+G        B minorBm   A augmentedA
And I'll be the one looking for you

Chorus:
D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
   We are more than future housewives
G+G      B minorBm     A augmentedA     D MajorD
More than the sum of our past lives
G+G       D MajorD     G+G       D MajorD
Two lovers in basically matching shirts
G+G    B minorBm    A augmentedA
Jaywalk together across petrified earth
D MajorD
And if there's more to life
G+G      D MajorD    G+G     B minorBm  A augmentedA
Let me forget all about it tonight
D MajorD     G+G
All I want occupying my mind
D MajorD            G+G
Is, "What is the highest thing we can climb
B minorBm   A augmentedA
Before sunrise?"

Bridge:
D MajorD           G+G        E minorEm    G+G
And you'll be the one in the comfortable shoes
D MajorD          G+G
And I'll be the one who's probably too drunk But still wants to carry you
D MajorD     B minorBm   D MajorD
And you'll be the one

G+G   D MajorD   G+G  A:

D MajorD           E minorEm     D MajorD
You'll be the one

Verse 2:
D MajorD
   And we'll laugh at everything so obvious
G+G     D MajorD
But in our hearts, we'll take it so serious
D MajorD
To the outside world
D MajorD        G+G       D MajorD
Stay oblivious, to all of our friends
D MajorD         G+G
Our actions will be hideous
D MajorD
And I'll be intense
      G+G
And I'll be too much
G+G      D MajorD
And I'll get too high
D MajorD
And I'll get too drunk
G+G       D MajorD
But in between episodes
       G+G     D MajorD        G+G     B minorBm  A augmentedA
I'll love you more than anyone you have ever known

Outro:
G+G             D MajorD         G+G
    And I don't mean to put the pressure on
D MajorD      G+G
You're gonna like my dad
B minorBm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
I know you'll love my mum and
G+G    D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD
I don't mean to put the pressure on
G+G
Got a few names for a daughter
B minorBm         A augmentedA
Can't think of one for a son
D MajorD    G+G          D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
     And I don't mean to put the pressure on
G+G            B minorBm      A augmentedA
I don't mean to put the pressure on
D MajorD       G+G
I'd do anything
D MajorD          G+G
I'm here to see this through
D MajorD           G+G
Anyway, hey, my name's Will
D MajorD
