[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][Em][G][Em]
[C][G][C][Em][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [C]watching the [G]news
from [Am]the movie theater [Em]bar and d[G]aydreaming of you
[F]Oh, [G]I've nev[C]er been goo[G]d at paying
[Am]attention [Em]but I'm lear[F]ning to[G]
With [C]my eyes [G]glued,
[Am]I'm watching the t[Em]ube but I'm [G]not list[F]ening
[G]Do [Em]you eve[C]r wake up [G]in the mid[Am]dle
[Em]of the night and find [F]yourself wishing

[Verse 2]
That he'd [G]walk in the room
Sweep [C]you off your feet
Kiss [G]you on the cheek
[C]Tell you he loves you
[G]Don't we all wish that
[C]It were that easy
[G]

[Verse 3]
[F]
[G]So I [Em]walked [C]home from the [G]movies,
[C]sat on [Am]the couch, [Em]and turned on th[G]e TV[F]
[G]I've heard so [C]many sto[G]ries,
all [Am]of them en[Em]ded wi[F]th you and m[G]e
Oh, I [C]try to [G]be cool,
[Am]but darling this feeli[Em]ng's hard [G]to explain[F]
[G]I've heard so [C]many sto[G]ries,
all [Am]of them en[Em]ded with your na[F]me

[Verse 4]
So you [G]lay in your bed
Watch [C]Dawn of the Dead
[G]And dream of the end of [C]days
When he'd [G]walk in the room
And say, "Come [C]with me,
I know the way"
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am][G]
So [C]happy [G]bir[Am]thda[Em]y,[G]
[F]baby[G]
You're [C]so much [G]older than [C]you
[Am]thought [Em]you would [F]be[G]
[C]Oh, happy [G]bir[Am]thday[Em], ba[G]by (it's my par[F]ty and I'll cry if I want to,
[G]cry if I want to, cry if I want to)
[C]You're so much [G]older [Am]than you thought you [Em]would[F] be (it's my party
and I'll cry if I want to, cry [G]if I want to, cry if I want to)
[C]Oh, you're so much [G]older [Am]than you [Em]thought you would[F] be (it's my party and I'll cry if I [G]want to,
cry if I want to, [C]cry if I want to)
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,
cry if I want to, cry if I want to
