Its Not My Birthday

          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

[Verse 2]

    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

[Chorus]

             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

[Bridge]

         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

[Verse 3]

          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

[Chorus]

             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
