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 need it

         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 'em up and I asked, "Arе you comin' over?"

Dm                    C                         G
  And all I got was a shrug and a, "I don't know"
[Chorus]
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away

               G
Tryin' to 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

Another birthday alone

      F             G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay

        C                   F
I hit a bar in town, get my card to start a tab

      G
Every day that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back

            C                         F
And so I'll drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack

           G
And end up talkin' to strangers and find another plan

          C                 F
I end the night in the cab, 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 roll
