         C

Well, if I had my way

             E

You'd have a birthday every week

    F                                   C

And you'd choose to spend them all with me

         C

I'd come down to the bus stop,

    E

Say you can't go to work

F                          C

You'd take my hand faithfully

         C

Then I'd gift wrap my heart

        E

And I'd write you a new song

F                         C

I'd try to right all your wrongs

        C

I would play with your hair

       E

And suggest what to wear

    F                            C

And I'd paint a smile where it belongs



      Am                   E

But I know that you're not broken

      F                    C

And I know that you're not bruised

           Am        E

I know I'm easily forgotten

   F              C

So Happy Birthday You



       C

Oh and every week I'd take you someplace

E

You've not been before

F                        C

I'd try to keep it under wraps

        C

Well we never drove to Paris

         E

And I've never been to Prague

F                       C

We should try them out, perhaps

           C

And we can document our travels

     E

On a handheld camera

F                           C

Put them to a theme song of kind

          C

If you've nothing left to show for it

    E

The story never fits

        F                         C

And the notion of the day is undermined



      Am                   E

But I know that you're not broken

      F                    C

And I know that you're not bruised

           Am        E

I know I'm easily forgotten

   F              C

So Happy Birthday You

          C

Well when we get home you're tired

              E

But you don't want to go to bed

       F                C

So you lay in my arms instead

            C

You'd say tonight was just perfection

            E

And I don't want to go to sleep

F                       C

Can we do the same next week?



      Am                   E

But I know that you're not broken

      F                    C

And I know that you're not bruised

           Am        E

I know I'm easily forgotten

   F              C

So Happy Birthday You



        Am                   E

Yeah, I know that you're not broken

      F                    C

And I know that you're not bruised

           Am        E

I know I'm easily forgotten

   F              C

So Happy Birthday You



F              C

Happy Birthday You

F              C

Happy Birthday You

F              C

Happy Birthday You

F              C

Happy Birthday You

F              C

Happy Birthday You
