Its Not My Birthday  They Might Be Giants



Well the r[D]ain falls d[G]own without my h[A]elp I'm afraid
and my l[D]awn gets w[G]et though I've withhe[A]ld my consent
when this gr[D]ey world cr[G]umbles like a c[Gm]ake
I'll be ha[D]nging from the h[Bm]ope
that I'll ne[G]ver see that r[E]ecipe aga[A]in
Verse 2:
As I walk I think about a new way to walk
as I think I'm using up the time left to think
and this train keeps rolling off the track
trying to act like something else
trying to go where it's been uninvited

Chorus:
It's not my b[D]irthday, it's not today
it's not my b[D]irthday so why do you lu[A]nge out at me
when the w[D]ord comes d[Am]own "Never m[Em]ore will be ar[A]ound"
though I[D]'ll wish we were th[C]ere, I was l[D]ess than we could b[G]ear
and I'm [Em]not the only d[G]ust my mother ra[A]ised

Bridge:
So I'm ra[D]ttling the bars around this d[D7]rink tank discreetly
I should p[G]our through the keyhole or ev[E]aporate comp[A]letely
but there'd [D]be no percentage and there'd [D7]be no proof
and the so[G]und upon the roof is only wa[E]ter     [A]

Verse 3:
And the the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid
and my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent
when this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope
that I'll never see that recipe again

Chorus:
It's not my birthday, it's not today
it's not my birthday so why do you lunge out at me
when the word comes down "Never more will be around"
though I'll wish we were there, I was less than we could bear
and I'm not the only dust my mother raised
I am not the only dust my mother raised
