Ed Sheeran - The Day I Was Born Chords

[verse 1]
      C
Got a call from my mother
    F
who wishes that she was here
          G
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'
           C
I want the warmth of the summer,
    F
the cold too cold to bear
         G
The only plus is the sweater, I need it
         C
I broke apart from my lover
  F
a couple months ago
             G
If they were here,

then I guess I wouldn't be alone
            C
This is the life in the city
    F
and that's the way it goes
           G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it

[pre-chorus]
Dm                   C
 I hit 'em up and I asked,
                 G
"Arе you comin' over?"
Dm                    C
 And all I got was a shrug
                    G
and a, "I don't know"

[chorus]
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
               G
Tryin' to 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
I hit a bar in town,
       F
get my card to start a tab
      G
Every day that we're here,

well, we're never gettin' back
            C
And so I'll drink for the confidence
 F
'cause that's what I lack
           G
And end up talkin' to strangers

and find another plan
          C
I end the night in the cab,
   F
spinnin' on my own
         G
Watchin' pointless shit

and flickin' through my phone
          C
And would April be better?
  F
I guess I'll never know
              G
I'll take the keys from my pocket

and stumble into home

[pre-chorus]
   Dm
And I feel low,
      C                    G
but I guess I could feel lower
Dm                     C            G
 I'm headin' down and now I'm on a roll

[chorus]
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
               G
Tryin' to 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

[instrumental bridge]
C  F  G
C  F  G

[pre-chorus]
Dm                  C                    G
 I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm                     C            G
 I'm headin' down and now I'm on a roll

[chorus]
             C                 F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
               G
Tryin' to 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   C
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
