The Day I Was Born chords by Ed Sheeran

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Verse 1:
   C            F
Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here
     G
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'
      C             F
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
     G
The only plus is the sweater I needed
     C          F
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
       G
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone
      C          F
This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes
      G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dm          C            G
 I hit her mom and I asked, "Arе you comin' over "
Dm          C              G
 And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know"


🎸 Chorus:
       C         F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
      G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
        C      F
And they don't want to celebrate
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
      C               F
Always the month when parties come to an end
      G
The same excuses from every friend
    C            F
Another year and now we're here again
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


🎸 Post-Chorus:
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay


🎸 Verse 2:
    C           F
I hit a bar in town, get my account, start a tav
   G
Everyday that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back
     C             F
And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack
      G
And end up talkin' to strangers and findin' another plaque
    C          F
I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own
     G
Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone
     C         F
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know
       G
I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  Dm         C          G
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm           C      G
 I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row


🎸 Chorus:
       C         F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
      G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
        C      F
And they don't want to celebrate
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
      C               F
Always the month when parties come to an end
      G
The same excuses from every friend
    C            F
Another year and now we're here again
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


🎸 Post-Chorus:
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
