CAPO1
Em C
Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse
Em C G
Tiny diamond in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse
Sippin' at a cup that's half way filled
But looking forward to the day he pays that drinking bill
There's no peace, there's no quiet on this earth
He confided, nestled tightly in that womb beneath the dirt
Hurt no more and when he turned 24
He wrote a note to nail to God's front door that said
Em
I want death
C
Death for my birthday
Em
I want death
Am
Death in the worst way
Em
I want death
C
Death for my birthday
Am G
Don't get me wrong cause..
Em
I love life
C
But life has a boyfriend
Em
Bless my soul
Am
I'm out to destroy them
Em
I want death
C
Death for my birthday
Am G
For my birthday
Em C G
From the high paying job and the love of his life
He rode a roller coaster ride of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Pray each night to his cross of a charm
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
Em
I want death
C
Death for my birthday
Am
I want death
F
Death in the worst way
Em
I want death
Am
Death for my birthday
Am G
Don't get me wrong cause..
Em
I love life
C
But life has a boyfriend
Em
Bless my soul
Am
I'm out to destroy them
Em
I want death
Am G
Death for my birthday
C
For my birthday
Am C
I'll never lose another friend again
Em Am C
Or watch them start a war that's fought for ideals that are dead
Am C
I'll never have an argument again
Am Em
Because my dust
Am Em
will be your salt
Am F G
My blood will hydrate you off
C Am
My heart will be your meal
F G
And I won't ride the cycle of the way it kills to think and feel
No more, no
Em
I want death
C
Death for my birthday
Am
I want death
F
Death in the worst way
Em
I want death
Am
Death for my birthday
Am G
Don't get me wrong cause..
Em
I love life

But life has a boyfriend
Em
Bless my soul

I'm out to destroy them
Em
I want death
Am G
Death for my birthday
C
For my birthday
Em C
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat
Em Am
He fell so fast beneath all our feet
F G
Through bugs and snakes
Am C
Last words he had to say were
Em C
Help me claw my way to the surface
Em Am
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
F G
Just one more, just one more birthday
