Intro:  C Am E5  (repeat)


C       Am           E5
closing time for the sunshine
C          Am             E5
ladies are painting their faces
C           Am             E5
I combed my hair it looked just right
C           Am          E5       F    
went out to go to these places I go


C             Am              E5
its early the birds wont stop screaming
C           Am          E5
dont tell a soul its my birthday
C           Am            E5
I cant make my heart stop beating
C       Am           E5            F      F
I had a happy, happy birthday this year


F      C          Am             E5
upside down reads sorry from the trashcan
C          Am        E5
regret you miserable lover
C           Am             E5
I closed my hands til they turned white
C               Am         E5       F      F
this cancer has taken both body and mind


F      C       Am              E5
on the ground, dragging of the boot heels
C           Am          E5
my feet are so tired of leaving
C                Am          E5         F
pride shakes the hand in the mirror
