Tom: G
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
