Intro: G5

         G5          D5
You were saving the date
         C5           D5
But you woke up too late
            G5          D5          C5
Pulled the covers down over your head
             G5               D5
You haven't left your front door
       C5          D5
For a week maybe more
          G5               D5              C5     D5
Tell me, hey, what's the news from your bed

               C5                             D5
You know your face is all covered with your birthday cake
             G5             D5          C5
That you're eating in the kitchen at home
         C5               D5
Another banner year, a splendid day
         G5       D5               C5
Another inch or two that you've grown
          C5                         D5
But it's hard to celebrate on your own

           G5            D5             C5             D5
There's a mouse in the cupboard that nibbles your crumbs
         G5           D5     C5
And you talk to him every night
          G5         D5             C5             D5
You say, 'Hey, Mr. Whiskers, I'm bored and I'm numb
         G5           D5             C5       D5
You can stay if you just treat me right'

 C5                       D5         
Just last year you were fortunate baby
          G5                D5            C5
And your friends circled around you in droves
          C5                D5
Are they thinking of you? Maybe just maybe
     G5             D5           C5
But not a one has bothered to phone
         C5                         D5
Tell me where, oh, where did they go?

Interlude: G5 D5 C5 D5 x4

A5                     G5
Called a car about an hour ago
             A5
You're gonna take yourself out
             G5
Despite the cold and snow
           A5
Did they forget about you?
         G5
Are they in on it too?
                A5
You're sitting looking in the mirror
         G5       C5       G5  D5
At your dancing shoes

           G5      D5              C5            D5
When your family calls you make nice to them all
       G5                D5                C5    D5
And assure them you're fine and you're great
          G5          D5             C5            D5
Then you cry in the bath, cry so hard that you laugh
          G5         D5          C5      D5
Then you watch television til late

C5                D5  
Who do you need?   Nobody
        G5      D5        C5
You're lucky nobody's around
       C5
I can pour my own drinks
D5                      G5       D5          C5    D5
No thanks, Mister. Go on, and get out of town
             C5                      G5 D5 G5
And you're gorgeous in your evening gown
