         E           A
Birthday boy can't explain

          G#m  C#m          B
Christmas eve    he's born again

       E             A
On the line a broken train

      G#m     C#m        B
Going nowhere    endless rain

         E       A
Birthday boy so afraid

            G#m7   C#m         B
Plays the machines    in the arcade

                  E
Oh baby, do you remember

                  A
He's been through all this before

          G#m7   C#m        B
Spent the summer    getting nowhere

       E                        A
Taking all of the blame for the city

     G#m7   C#m                B
Calculating    from pain comes pity

          E             A
Christmas Eve a time of joy

         G#m   C#m            B
If you believe    in Birthday boy

           E                   A
This time around it's all a mistake

        G#m   C#m           B
Is he deluded     or just a fake

                 E
Oh baby do you remember

                  A
He's been through all this before

          G#m7   C#m        B
Spent the summer    getting nowhere

       E                        A
Taking all of the blame for the city

     G#m7   C#m                B
Calculating    from pain comes pity

Cmaj7                 Em
      If you knew his name

Cmaj7                    Em
      Would you feel the same

C#m                   F#
      If you knew his name

         F#          B
Birthday boy stands apart

       A#m     D#m          C#
As the drama's     about to start

          F#               B
A quick betrayal, a speedy trial

     A#m     D#m           C#
As before,      complete denial

                 F#
Oh baby do you remember

                  B
He's been through all this before

          A#m    D#m        C#
Spent the summer    getting nowhere

       F#                       B
Taking all of the blame for the city

     A#m    D#m                C#
Calculating    from pain comes pity

Dmaj7                 F#m
      If you knew his name

Dmaj7                    F#m
      Would you feel the same
