Its Not My Birthday Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Well the rDain falls dGown without my hAelp I'm afraid

 and my lDawn gets wGet though I've withheAld my consent

 when this grDey world crGumbles like a cGmake

 I'll be haDnging from the hBmope

 that I'll neGver see that rEecipe agaAin

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 bDirthday, it's not today

 it's not my bDirthday so why do you luAnge out at me

 when the wDord comes dAmown "Never mEmore will be arAound"

 though ID'll wish we were thCere, I was lDess than we could bGear

 and I'm Emnot the only dGust my mother raAised

Bridge

 So I'm raDttling the bars around this dD7rink tank discreetly

 I should pGour through the keyhole or evEaporate compAletely

 but there'd Dbe no percentage and there'd D7be no proof

 and the soGund upon the roof is only waEter 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
