Death 4 My Birthday by Modern Baseball
Death 4 My Birthday
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
C Am
Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
C Am Dm
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse
G
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
Em G
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
C Am C
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
Am
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
F G
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
Em C G
He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said
[Chorus]
C
I want death
Death for my birthday
F
I want death
Death in the worst way
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
G
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
F F F
[Verse 2]
C
From the high paying job and the love of his life
Am
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night
Dm G
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
Em F G C
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
Am
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Dm G
Pray each night to his cross of a charm
Em F G
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
[Chorus]
C
I want death
Death for my birthday
F
I want death
Death in the worst way
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
G
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
F F F
[Bridge]
C F
I'll never lose another friend again
C F
Or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead
G
I'll never have an argument again
F
Because my dust
C
will be your salt
F C F
My blood will hydrate you all
G Am
My heart will be your meal
C F
And I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel
No more, no
[Chorus]
C
I want death
Death for my birthday
F
I want death
Death in the worst way
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
Don't get me wrong cause..
Am
I love life
But life has a boyfriend
G
Bless my soul
I'm out to destroy them
C
I want death
F
Death for my birthday
C F
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat
C
He fell so fast beneath all our feet
Through bugs and snakes
F C
Last words he had to say were
Am C
Help me claw my way to the surface
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
F
Just one more, just one more birthday
