[Verse 1]
C F
Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here
G
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'
C F
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
G
The only plus is the sweater I needed
C F
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
G
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone
C F
This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes
G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G
I hit her mom and I asked, "Arе you comin' over?"
Dm C G
And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know"
[Chorus]
C F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
C F
And they don't want to celebrate
G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
C F
Always the month when parties come to an end
G
The same excuses from every friend
C F
Another year and now we're here again
G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
[Post-Chorus]
C
Another birthday alone
F G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
C
Another birthday alone
F G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
[Verse 2]
C F
I hit a bar in town, get my account, start a tav
G
Everyday that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back
C F
And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack
G
And end up talkin' to strangers and findin' another plaque
C F
I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own
G
Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone
C F
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know
G
I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm C G
I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row
[Chorus]
C F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
C F
And they don't want to celebrate
G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
C F
Always the month when parties come to an end
G
The same excuses from every friend
C F
Another year and now we're here again
G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
[Post-Chorus]
C
Another birthday alone
F G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
[Instrumental Bridge]

Tryna make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

The same excuses from every friend

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here
A couple cards in the post that I'm reading
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
The only plus is the sweater, I need it
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone
This is the life in the city, and that's the way it goes
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it
I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you coming over?"
And all I got was a shrug and an "I don't know"
And everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don't want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we're here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
I hit a bar in town, give my card to start a tab
Every day that we're here, well, we're never getting back
And so I'll drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack
And end up talking to strangers and find another plan
I end the night in the cab, head spinning, on my own
Watching pointless things and flicking through my phone
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know
I take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll
And everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don't want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we're here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
I'm heading down and now I'm on a roll
And everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don't want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we're here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
Another birthday alone
La-la-lay-la-la-lay
