Intro: C, C/B, C, C/B

    C      C/B Am       G      F             
A Brooklyn boy born and raised chopping lines 
G               F    C    F  C
hey hey it’s my birthday
   C    C/B        Am      G        F                 
A toy I torched to tar pit flames a lock jaw night 
G              F      C    F   G
hey hey its my birthday
         Am                     F       C
Dead-end friends will make your stomach shake
           C/B      Am
While your hissing’ head
Em                F                G
Barrels down that blackened lane
          Dm            Am                 F  C  C/B
Alone at last to figure how you got this way
          Am     Em      F        G      C
Alone at last to figure how you got this way


   G   F Em  Dm F      G       F      C      F      C

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