The Birthday Party

[Intro]
D Em D/F# G A
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
 
[Chorus]
Then I've seen the girls and they were all like
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"
 
[Verse 2]
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
 
[Chorus]
                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
 
 
[Outro]
               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
 
D   Em D/F#  G     A
