**BIRTHDAY IN LOS ANGELES - THE MAINE**

I got these from watching the Flying Blanket Studios performance so 
it may be a liiiittle different from the album version. Played with 
a bit of a swing to it. I prefer to finger pick it but strumming 
works well too! (also it's my first tab so excuse any errors)

REFRAIN x1

C*    G*                   Am7
  You showed me around the house
                     C*
  You took me by the wrist
C*         G*               Am7
  You introduced me to your pals
               C*
  the scientologists
C*   G*             Am7
  We cut the cake inside, 
                         C*
  Then I tried to fake a smile
C*      G*                    Am7
  And I drank, and drank, and drank
                          F
  'cause I felt so out of style

F            G                 C*
  Well, this ain't my birthday ṗarty

  But soon enough you?ll miss me

F       G                 C*
