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

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

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

Spent the summer    getting nowhere

Calculating    from pain comes pity
