Birthday [E]boy can't ex[A]plain
Christmas [Abm]eve [C#m] he's born a[B]gain
On the [E]line a broken [A]train
Going [Abm]nowhere [C#m] endless [B]rain
Birthday [E]boy so a[A]fraid
Plays the ma[Abm7]chines [C#m] in the ar[B]cade
Oh baby do you re[E]member
He's been through [A]all this before
Spent the [Abm7]summer [C#m] getting [B]nowhere
Taking [E]all of the blame for the [A]city
Calcu[Abm7]lating [C#m] from pain comes [B]pity
Christmas [E]Eve a time of [A]joy
If you be[Abm]lieve [C#m] in Birthday [B]boy
This time a[E]round it's all a mis[A]take
Is he de[Abm]luded [C#m] or just a [B]fake
Oh baby do you re[E]member
He's been through [A]all this before
Spent the [Abm7]summer [C#m] getting [B]nowhere
Taking [E]all of the blame for the [A]city
Calcu[Abm7]lating [C#m] from pain comes [B]pity
[Cmaj7] If you knew his [Em]name
[Cmaj7] Would you feel the [Em]same
[C#m] If you knew his [F#]name
