         E5           A5
Birthday boy can't explain
          Ab5  C#5          B5
Christmas eve    he's born again
       E5             A5
On the line a broken train
      Ab5     C#5        B5
Going nowhere    endless rain

         E5       A5
Birthday boy so afraid
            Ab5   C#5         B5
Plays the machines    in the arcade


                 E5
Oh baby do you remember
                  A5
He's been through all this before
          Ab5   C#5        B5
Spent the summer    getting nowhere
       E5                        A5
Taking all of the blame for the city
     Ab5   C#5                B5
Calculating    from pain comes pity


          E5             A5
Christmas Eve a time of joy
         Ab5   C#5            B5
If you believe    in Birthday boy
           E5                   A5
This time around it's all a mistake
        Ab5   C#5           B5
Is he deluded     or just a fake

                 E5
Oh baby do you remember
                  A5
He's been through all this before
          Ab5   C#5        B5
Spent the summer    getting nowhere
       E5                        A5
Taking all of the blame for the city
     Ab5   C#5                B5
Calculating    from pain comes pity


C5                 E5
      If you knew his name
C5                    E5
      Would you feel the same
C#5                   F#5
      If you knew his name
