Just Another Birthday

INTRO:
Gm Eb Bb F 
VERSE:
       Eb       F
Sixteen finds me
             Eb                F
Blowing out candles and making wishes
        Bb            Eb
And all around me
       Bb                   Gm
Is everyone but the one I'm wishing for
    Eb          F
And he sent me flowers
    Gm          Bb
And gift-wrapped excuses
      Eb          F
From a daddy whose daughter¨
     Gm          Bb
Wants to see him again
 
CHORUS:
   Eb       Bb
And I know, I know
   Eb            Bb
It's just another birthday
   Eb       Bb
But I guess I thought
F
This would be the one
              Eb       Bb
When he would call me, see me
Gm          Eb        F
Hold me and free me
         Eb           Bb         F
But it's just another birthday
           Gm      Eb     Bb
And I'll be fine
F        Gm      Eb     Bb   F
I'll be fine
 
VERSE 2:
      Eb       F
Nineteen finds me
        Eb                F
And I'm wild-eyed and wide open
         Bb               Eb
I gave myself away to love
     Bb                    Gm
But backseat promises fade like a mist
     Eb                       F
I'm screaming at the midnight air
     Gm                Bb
Everyone hears me but I don't care
            Eb                   F
My heart's clenched just like a fist
               Gm                 Bb
'Cause, people, I didn't ask for any of this
 
CHORUS: 2
   Eb        Bb
And I know, I know
   Eb            Bb
It's just another birthday
   Eb       Bb
But I guess I thought
F
This would be the one
              Eb       Bb
When he would call me, see me
Gm          Eb        F
Hold me and free me
         Eb           Bb         F
But it's just another birthday
           Gm      Eb     Bb
And I'm not fine
F        Gm      Eb     Bb   F
I'm not fine
 
Eb
In the company of strangers
F                     Eb
In a cold and sterile room
Gm
All alone with a child inside me
Gm
And I don't know what to do
Cm
Jesus, can You hear me
Eb
Come and heal my brokenness
Cm
Put the pieces back together
          Eb            Bb
And be a Father to the fatherless
Eb
A Father to the fatherless
 
         Eb      F
Twenty-one finds me
            Eb                 F
Blowing out candles and making wishes
         Bb        F
And all around me
          Bb                    Gm
My barefoot princess twirls and sings
         Eb       F
It's so amazing 
         Gm                  Bb
Looking back at all God's brought us through
       Eb            F
You are my happy birthday
          Gm                    Bb
And you were born to break the chains
 
     Eb      Bb
Now I know, I know
     Eb                Bb
It's not just another birthday
       Eb            Bb
'Cause I'm here, she's here
    F
And look how far we've come
             Eb          F
Since you've called me, saw me
Gm            Eb      F
Held me and freed me
            Eb               Bb       F
Thank you, Lord, for another birthday
            Gm     Eb   Bb
And we'll be fine
F        Gm     Eb    Bb   F
We'll be fine
