Circa Waves – Birthday Cake (Guitar)

           G
Said you'd be there

           C                 Em    C
Said you'd be there from the start

           G
Said you'd be there

           C                Em   C
Said you'd be there and you are

             G
You took for granted

         C                    Em     C
Seeds we planted when we were young

               G
And you're the comfort

           C                  Em     C
You're the dock leaf when I'm stung

    G                               Am
And oh, surely these candles aren't mine

                          C                    G
They take up a lot of the space on this cake

                                  Am
And oh, I feel like we're growing old

                         C
Faster than what we were told

                      G
And who cares when we go?

            G
So will you be there?

         C                   Em     C
When I'm broken, bruised and stuck

               G
'Cause I don't read much

           C                         Em    C
But I like doing things by the book

       G
I will try to

       C              Em     C
I will try to leave a mark

             G
But we're designed to

         C                  Em     C
We're designed to fade like scars

    G                               Am
And oh, surely these candles aren't mine

                          C                    G
They take up a lot of the space on this cake

                                  Am
And oh, I feel like we're growing old

                         C
Faster than what we were told

                      G
Who will care when we go?
