They Might Be Giants – Its Not My Birthday (Guitar)

          D          G               A
Well the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid

        D         G                    A
and my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent

            D          G              Gm
When this grey world crumbles like a cake

          D               Bm
I'll be hanging from the hope

            G             E        A
that I'll never see that recipe again

    D       G             A
As I walk I think about a new way to walk

      D        G            A
As I think I'm using up the time left to think

          D          G               Gm
and this train keeps rolling off the track

          D         Bm
trying to act like something else

             G          E    A
trying to go where it's been uninvited

             D
It's not my birthday, it's not today

             D                       A
It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me

          D          Am          Em            A
When the word comes down "Never more will be around"

        D                  C           D                  G
Though I'll wish we were there, I was less than we could bear

        Em            G               A
and I'm not the only dust my mother raised

         D                            D7
So I'm rattling the bars around this drink tank discreetly

          G                            E           A
I should pour through the keyhole or evaporate completely

            D                            D7
but there'd be no percentage and there'd be no proof

          G                           E       A
and the sound upon the roof is only water

          D          G               A
Well the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid

        D         G                    A
and my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent

            D          G              Gm
When this grey world crumbles like a cake

          D               Bm
I'll be hanging from the hope

            G             E        A
that I'll never see that recipe again

             D
It's not my birthday, it's not today

             D                       A
It's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me

          D          Am          Em            A
When the word comes down "Never more will be around"

        D                  C           D                  G
Though I'll wish we were there, I was less than we could bear

        Em            G              A
and I'm not the only dust my mother raised

     Em              G            D
I am not the only dust my mother raised
