Intro: C5 , C5 , C5 , C5

    C5      C5 A5       G5      F5             
A Brooklyn boy born and raised chopping lines 
G5               F5    C5    F5  C5
hey hey it?s my birthday
   C5    C5        A5      G5        F5                 
A toy I torched to tar pit flames a lock jaw night 
G5              F5      C5    F5   G5
hey hey its my birthday
         A5                     F5       C5
Dead-end friends will make your stomach shake
           C5      A5
While your hissing? head
E5                F5                G5
Barrels down that blackened lane
          D5            A5                 F5  C5  C5
Alone at last to figure how you got this way
          A5     E5      F5        G5      C5
Alone at last to figure how you got this way

C5        C5      A5    G5           F5            G5
Charcoal clouds spot and spray they kill the sun hey hey 
         F5        C5     F5      C5
hear its back break
          C5   C5   A5         G5   F5                G5      
So I can never tell night from day right from wrong hey hey  
           F5     C5       F5          G5
you?re my headache
         A5                F5       C5      C5        A5
A silver tongue amass your hungry hate while haggard heart
E5                  F5              G5
Whispers through it cracking cage
           D5                A5                  F5     C5    C5
Still can change you have to know you still can change
         A5       E5    F5       G5        C5
I know I know but now I want to be this way
     C5   A5     E5       F5     G5      C5
This was a choice this was never a mistake
C5      A5    E5    F5    G5  C5
This was never a mistake    (repeat until end)
