E A
Birthday boy can't explain
G#m C#m B
Christmas eve he's born again
E A
On the line a broken train
G#m C#m B
Going nowhere endless rain
E A
Birthday boy so afraid
G#m7 C#m B
Plays the machines in the arcade
E
Oh baby do you remember
A
He's been through all this before
G#m7 C#m B
Spent the summer getting nowhere
E A
Taking all of the blame for the city
G#m7 C#m B
Calculating from pain comes pity
E A
Christmas Eve a time of joy
G#m C#m B
If you believe in Birthday boy
E A
This time around it's all a mistake
G#m C#m B
Is he deluded or just a fake
E
Oh baby do you remember
A
He's been through all this before
G#m7 C#m B
Spent the summer getting nowhere
E A
Taking all of the blame for the city
G#m7 C#m B
Calculating from pain comes pity
Cmaj7 Em
If you knew his name
Cmaj7 Em
Would you feel the same
C#m F#
If you knew his name

Birthday boy stands apart
Bbm Ebm C#
As the drama's about to start

A quick betrayal, a speedy trial
Bbm Ebm C#
As before, complete denial

Oh baby do you remember

He's been through all this before
Bbm Ebm C#
Spent the summer getting nowhere

Taking all of the blame for the city

If you knew his name

Would you feel the same
