[Am] And you're down [F] for the count
You are [Am] dancing with men [F] going round and round
[Am] And you're scared [F] and you're sure
[Am] That your spine will dissolve, [F] you will fall to the floor
[Am] You will take [F] what you need
And the headaches will come, but at least you can breathe
There's a smoke fills your lungs
We will wait for the day, we'll rejoice when it comes
[C] On your birthday, you [G] woke up
[C] The snow is on [F] the ground
[C] You opened books [G] and peeked inside
[C] They kissed you on [F] your crown
[C] With pins in [G] your fingers
[Am] You held yourself [F] up high
[C] The picture peeled, [G] the person
[Am] They let themselves [F] divide
You [Am] arrive at [F] the place
It is not what you want, but it is what you chase
So you don't have to hold
All of the candles that burn on their own
You will steal all the smells
That cut through your nose and inside all your cells
When it's time to escape
You realize you've waited until it's too late
But [C] your birthday [G] inflated
[Am] The bones with which [F] you creep
They [C] stole your shoes and [G] brought you to
[Am] The caverns of [F] their teeth
You [C] pleaded, oh [G] kind sir
Please [Am] let me say [F] goodbye
[C] Your soul ripped from [G] your stomach
[Am] You gave an awful [F] cry
A cry, a cry, a cry
And when [C] I [F] have died
[Am] Will [G] you use [F] my spine
To swing [G] from tree [F] to tree
In search of places [G] pleasing [F] to the eye
[Am] And when [G] I [F] have died
Will [Em] you use [F] my spine
[Am] To swing [G] from tree to [F] tree
In search of [Am] places [G] pleasing [F] to the [Am] eye
And when [G] I [F] have died
Will [G] you use [F] my spine
To swing [G] from tree to [F] tree
In search of places [G] pleasing [F] to the eye
[G] I [F]
[G] [F]
[G] [F]
[G] [F]
[C]
[G] said, [Am]
I'm [F] sorry dear
[C] I [G] said, [C]
I'm [F] sorry dear
But [C] you don't listen
[G] [Am]
[F] No, you [C] don't listen
[G] You [C] silly little [F] girl
