Death For My Birthday Tabulatur von Say Anything (für Baryton)

Em                                           C
let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
Em                     C                        G
tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse
Em                               C
sipping at a cup that's half way filled
Em                         C                   G
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
Em                             C
there's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
Em                     C                    G
he confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
Em                       C
hurt no more and when he turned twenty-four
Em                 C                    G
he wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said

Em
i want death
C
death for my birthday
Em
i want death
Am
death in the worst way
Em
i want death
C
death for my birthday
Am                  G
don't get me wrong, cause

Em
i love life
C
but life has a boyfriend
Em
bless my soul
Am
i'm out to destroy them
Em
i want death
C
death for my birthday
Am       G
for my birthday

Em                                         C     
from the high paying job and the love of his life
Em                                C            G           
he rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night
Em                                C
they made a baby in unmentionable ways
Em                                C                  G
he was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
Em                         C
and underneath he thought this is all a phase
Em                 C                 G
just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Em                      C
pray each night to his cross of a charm
Em                    C                       G
for the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm

Em

C
death for my birthday

Am       G
for my birthday
                                                 

   Am                     C           Em
i'll never lose another friend again
Am                                           C                                       
or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead
Am                       C
i'll never have an argument again
Am      Em
because my dust
Am         Em
will be your salt
Am          F           G
my blood will hydrate you off
C                 Am
my heart will be your meal
           F                              G
and I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel


Em

for my birthday

[play with palm-muting, or softer]

Em                        C
one sweet day his heart ceased to beat
Em                         Am
he fell so fast beneath all our feet
F                G
through bugs and snakes
Am                     C
last words he had to say 
      Em               C
were "help me claw my way to the surface
Em                           Am
oh sweet lord you know i deserve this
F                              G
just one more, just one more birthday..."
