[D] [F#]
[D] [E] [Em] Happy birthday.
[D] [Gm] [A] [E]
[D] So [Gm] make a wish.
[G] [Em] Please accept my [D] apologies.
Wonder what would have [G] been.
Would you have been a little [D] angel or an angel of [E] sin?
Tom boy [D] running around, hanging with all [Gm] the guys.
Or a little [Am] tough boy with beautiful brown eyes.
I paid for [D] the murder before they determined [G] the sex.
Choosing our [A] life over your life meant [Em] your death.
And you never got [D] a chance to even open your [G] eyes.
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your [Em] life.
Would you have been a [D] little genius in love with [G] math?
Would you have played in [D] your school clothes and made me [Em] mad?
Would you have been a [D] little rapper like your papa the [G] piper?
Would you have made me [E] quit smoking by finding one of [Em] my lighters?
I wonder about [D] your skin tone, the shape of your [G] nose,
and the way you would [C] have laughed and talked fast or slow.
Think about it [D] every year.
So I picked up a [G] pen.
Happy birthday.
[A] Love you whoever you would [Em] have been.

[D] Was as real [G] as it seemed.
[C] I [Em] got a million [D] excuses as to why you [G] died.
Other people got [A] their own reasons for [E] homicide.
Who's to say it would [D] have worked and who's to say it [G] wouldn't have?
I was young and [C] struggling but old enough to be [Em] a dad.
Fear of being [D] my father has never [G] disappeared.
I ponder it [A] frequently while I'm sipping on [E] my beer.
My vision of [D] a family was artificial [G] and fake.
So when it came time [E] to create, I made a [Em] mistake.
Now you got a little [D] brother.
Maybe it's really [G] you.
Maybe you really [A] gave us knowing we was [Em] confused.
Maybe every [D] time that he smiles it's you [G] proudly knowing that your father's doing the right thing [Em] now.
I never tell [D] a woman what to do with her [G] body.
But if she don't love [C] children, then we can't [Em] party.
Think about it every [D] year.
So I picked up a [G] pen.
Happy birthday.
[C] Love you whoever you would have [Em] been.

[D] What I'd got was [G] a dream.

[C] From the heavens to [G] the womb to the heavens again.
From the ending to the [C] ending.
Never got to begin.
Maybe one day [G] we can meet face to face.
In a place without [C] time or space.
Happy birthday.
From the heavens to the [D] womb to the heavens again.
From the ending to the [A] ending.
Never got to begin.
[C] Maybe one day [D] we can meet face to face.
