[SAVANNAH]
[Verse 1]
A D My mom and I have this tradition E A It's stupid and dumb, but it's ours D Every year on my birthday Gsus2 She picks the most weird looking card
[Verse 2]
A D She stuffs it with money and glitter E Fdim F#m Pretty and shiny and bright A D#dim I let it all fall to the floor Gsus2 And I read the message she writes
[Chorus]
F#m E A "Happy birthday, baby D A E The best day of my life was the day that you joined us F#m E D A I'm proud of your courage and talent and genius Bm A E A But most of all, I love the way you love Jesus"
[Verse 3]
A D I kept each one she ever gave me E A I don't know what that says about me A D I sit myself in the tension Gsus2 Between sour and sweet
[Verse 4]
A D What would she do if she saw me E Fdim F#m All the way down in my heart? A D#dim Who would she think that I am Gsus2 If I took out the Christian part?
[Chorus]
F#m E A She writes, "Happy birthday, baby" D A E I know she's not trying to actually upset me F#m E D A But there in invisible ink at the ending E A It's "Why can't you be more like Lennie?"
[Verse 5]
A D I'm sorry I make you feel ugly E A I'm sorry for stealing your shoes, that was me A D Gsus2 I'm sorry you can't understand what you are doing to me A D E Fdim F#m How do I live up to something I never really got to choose? D Esus E It's no use, there's no room
[Outro]
F#m E Jesus said, "Father, forgive them A D For they do not know what they do" A D So I just say, "Thanks for the card, mom Esus E A It means a lot coming from you"
