The 1975 – The Birthday Party (Guitar)

D Em D/F#        G    A
Hello, there's a place I've been going

D     Em     D/F#        G        A
There's a place I've been going

D        Em D/F#    G     A
Now I'm clean, it would seem

A
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen

D        Em D/F#   G
As sad as it seems

A
I've seen Greg and he was like

D                             Em        D/F#   
"I've seen your friends at the birthday party

             G                  A
They were kinda fucked up before it even started

D                             Em           D/F#
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show

   G                            A
They didn't know about all the weird stuff

                      D                Em           D/F#
So they just left it" (So they just left it)

   G                      A
I was wasted (I was wasted)

D       Em   D/F#      G     A
And cold, minding my business

D       Em             D/F#
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"

       G                            A
Listen, I got myself a missus, so there can't be any kissing

 D                    Em                  D/F#
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid

       G                            A
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"

D       Em       D/F#             G                          A
"This ain't going well", I thought that I was stuck in Hell

D                Em                    D/F#
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel

 G              A
About her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well

D                Em                    D/F#
You pulled away when I went in for the kiss

G              A
No, it wasn't a diss

 D                     Em                        D/F#
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss

G                      A
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?

 D                Em                    D/F#
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room

 G              A
He's gotta share for a bit"

 D                Em                    D/F#
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby

 G                 A
To get things that they don't have

                D                     Em
Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?

 D/F#              G
You know that I could sue ya if we're married

          A
And you fuck up again

D                     Em                        D/F#
Impress myself with stealth and bad health

          G                       A
And my wealth and progressive causes

                  D           Em       D/F#
Drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha

           G                            A
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it

  A
Look, the fucking state of it

 D
I came pretty late to it

  Em            D/F#          G               A
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture

               D Em D/F# G   A
All your friends in one place

                 D   Em D/F#  G     A
Oh, we're a scene, whatever that means

                 D   Em D/F#  G     A
I depend on my friends to stay clean

D   Em D/F#  G     A
As sad as it seems

D   Em D/F#  G     A
As sad as it seems

D   Em D/F#  G     A
As sad as it seems
