BIRTHDAY GIRL As recorded by Matt Nathanson
(From the 2013 Album THE LAST OF THE GREAT PRETENDERS)
[Intro]
Em G C Em G C
[Verse 1]
G C Early morning, autumn light G White washed walls and children playing C D The air is still, I smell the bakery G C Lying here in last night's clothes G Mexican girls and Sunday dresses C D C Fill the sidewalks up, Guerrero street
[Chorus]
Em G Save me, I get lost so easy C C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl Em G The rains came, turned all the hills green C Turn the dirt to flowers, birthday girl C My birthday girl
[Verse 2]
G Just because you learn to breathe G Underwater, doesn't mean C D You ever shake the fear of being drowned G Between the sparks and junkyard thoughts G The things I stole, the things I lost C D You could build a city in my hair C In my hair
[Chorus]
Em G Save me, I get lost so easy C C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl Em G The rains came, turned all the hills green C Turned the dirt to flowers, birthday girl Em I don't know what to do G Once this gets started C I never meant to be so broken hearted Em G Save me, I get lost so easy C Turn my dirt to flowers, birthday girl C My birthday girl

Em G Save me, I get lost so easy C C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl Em G The rains came, turned all the hills green C Turned the dirt to flowers, birthday girl Em I don't know what to do G Once this gets started C I never meant to be so broken hearted Em G Baby, c'mon and save me C Turn my dirt to flowers, birthday girl G My birthday girl
