Verse 2: As I walk I think about a new way to walk as I think I'm using up the time left to think and this train keeps rolling off the track trying to act like something else trying to go where it's been uninvited Chorus:

It's not my b^Dirthday, it's not today it's not my b^Dirthday so why do you lu^Ange out at me when the w^Dord comes d^Amown "Ne^Emver more will ^Abe around" though I^D'll wish we were th^Cere, I was l^Dess than we could b^Gear and I'm ^Emnot the only d^Gust my mother ra^Aised

Bridge:

So I'm ra^Dttling the bars around this d^D7rink tank discreetly I should p^Gour through the keyhole or ev^Eaporate comp^Aletely but there'd ^Dbe no percentage and there'd ^D7be no proof and the so^Gund upon the roof is only wa^Eter ^A

Verse 3: And the the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid and my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent when this grey world crumbles like a cake I'll be hanging from the hope that I'll never see that recipe again Chorus: It's not my birthday, it's not today it's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me when the word comes down "Never more will be around" though I'll wish we were there, I was less than we could bear and I'm not the only dust my mother raised I am not the only dust my mother raised
