[Intro]

Am   G#aug 
C/G  G#aug
Am   G#aug 
C/G  G#aug  
 
[Verse]

Am       G#aug C/G         G#aug
It's October. How could I forget?
Am           G#aug
Picture you older
C/G                  D/F#
With a knife in your hand
     Am
And a chocolate cake
   G#aug
A candle in your face
 C/G                       D/F#
A different man stood in my place
 
[Chorus]

Fmaj7            Cmaj7
And I'd break my legs in half
Fmaj7    G     Cmaj7
Throw my arms away
Fmaj7           Cmaj7
Just to celebrate you bad
E7                Am G#aug C/G D/F# Fmaj7
  On your special day
     E7            
I miss you, and 
           Am G#aug C/G G#aug
"Happy birthday"
 
[Verse]

Am                    G#aug
Bought you something yesterday
C/G                  F#m7b5
Just to give it to a stranger
Am                          
I wrote you a line just to 
 E7
melt it in a fire
C/G                           G
I sleep beside the ashes every night
 
[Chorus]

Fmaj7            Cmaj7
And I'd break my legs in half
Fmaj7    G     Cmaj7
Throw my arms away
Fmaj7           Cmaj7
Just to celebrate you bad
E7                Am G#aug C/G D/F# Fmaj7
  On your special day
     E7        
I miss you, and 
               Am
"Happy birthday"
 
[Outro]

Am            G#aug
Hip, hip, hooray
C/G         G#aug
Hip, hip, hooray
Am            G#aug
Hip, hip, hooray
C/G         G#aug   Am
Hip, hip, hooray
