Death for My Birthday Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Let me guide you through
the story of a boy and [G]his [Am]curse
Tiny [Em]diamond in his stroller with his
[C]first step [D]chasing the hearse
[Am]Sippin' at a[Em] cup [Am]that's
[Em]half way filled
But looking [Am]forward to the [G]day he
[C]pays that [D]drink[C]ing bill

[Verse 2]
[Em]There's no peace,
there's no quiet on [G]this [Am]earth
He con[Em]fided, nestled tightly in
that [C]womb [D]beneath the [Em]dirt
[Am]Hurt no more and when he t[Em]urned 24
He [Am]wrote a note [Bm]to nail to
[C]God's front [D]door that said

[Verse 3]
[G]I want death
Death for my birth[C]day
I want death
Death in the worst way
[G]I want death
Death for my birth[C]day

[Verse 4]
Don't get me wrong cause..
[G]I love life
But life [Bm]has a boyfriend
[Am]Bles[C]s my s[G]oul[Bm]

[G]I want death
Death for [Bm]my b[Am]irth d[C]ay[G][C]

[Verse 5]
For my birthday From [Em]the
high paying job
and [C]the love of [G]his life
[C]He rode a r[Em]oller coa[G]ster rid[Em]e of
[C]lust on their wedding night
They made [Am]a baby in unmen[Em]tionable ways
He was un[Am]grateful as [Bm]a man could
[C]be on that [D]blessed day

[Verse 6]
[Em]And underneath he thought
[G]this is all [Am]a phase
Just [Em]a blip in the existence of
[C]a structure [D]vast and great
[Am]Pray [C]each night [Am]to h[Em]is cross of a charm
For the [Am]one thing he c[Bm]ouldn't
[C]afford just [D]to buy the farm

[Verse 7]

I want death
Death in the worst way

For my birthday [C]I'll
never [G]lose an[Em]other

[Verse 13]
[G]
sweet day [C]his heart ceased to beat
[G]He [C]fell so fast beneath all our feet
Through [G]bugs and [C]snakes
[G]Last wor[C]ds he had to say were
