[Intro]
G C Em D C
[Verse 1]
G C
Eight years old to the day
Em
You blew your candles off the cake
D C
Wishing too hard for them to stay
You burnt the house down
[Verse 2]
G C
She held the match, he held her face
You learned to hate your birthday
Em D C
Calling her bitch, despite your wish
They had to separate
[Chorus]
C Bm
And the room sings
D Em C
And it sounds like leaving home
Bm
And the room sings
D Em G Em Bm C
"We know something you don't"
G Em Bm C
[Verse 3]
G C
Now he’s quite the stand-up guy
Em
He's stood you up 'least twelve times
D C
And when he finally does arrive
He brings his new wife
[Verse 4]
G C
The family shrink from second floor
Em
The one he claimed he couldn’t afford
D C
Your mother cries, clings to the floor
You knock his lights out
[Chorus]
C Bm
And the room sings
D Em C
And it sounds like leaving home
Bm
And the room sings
D Em G Em Bm C
"We know something you don't"
G Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
[Chorus Reprise]
C Bm
And the room sings
D Em C
And it sounds like leaving home
Bm
And the room sings
D Em C
"We know something you don't"
Bm
The room sings
D Em
And it sounds like there's no love
