Am7 Fmaj7/A
Think back now when we were young
Em7/A
There were always tears at the birthday party
Dm7 Dm6
You know how children can be
C6
So cruel
G
That's how it starts, but
C Bb/C
What if we never learn how to behave?
Fmaj7 Em Dm
I did something, and you never forgave me
F/G
I never thought that it could be like this
C Bb/C
But now I see
F/C Fm6/C
I see you share your cake with him
G Fmaj7/G
Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
G
What can I do?
Adim7
Must I watch you?
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
Dm9
So Happy Birthday again
G#dim7 Am7 Fmaj7/A
And it's the same every year
Em7/A
Seems that I remember it as something more, but
Dm9 Dm6
You know how children can grow
Cmaj7
So strange
G/B
I still adore you
What if we never learn from our mistakes?
But then, you'll never know how my heart aches
I never thought that it would be like this
But now I see
I see you share your cake with him
Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
What can I do?
Must I watch you?
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
One day I know he'll forget
To pay you the compliments you're after
You'll hang your sad, aching head
Behind a brittle smile or a shrill of laughter
What if we only get what we deserve?
Somehow I couldn't quite summon the nerve
Upon each anniversary
Then do you ever think of me?
Unwrapping presents that I should have sent
What can I do?
Must I watch you?
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
Close the door, dim the lights, blow out the candles
So Happy Birthday again
