[Intro]
Em G C Em G C

[Verse 1]
G C
Early morning, autumn light
G
White washed walls and children playing
C D
The air is still, I smell the bakery
G C
Lying here in last night's clothes
G
Mexican girls and Sunday dresses
C D C
Fill the sidewalks up, Guerrero street

[Chorus]
Em G
Save me, I get lost so easy
C
C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl
Em G
The rains came, turned all the hills green
C
Turn the dirt to flowers, birthday girl
C
My birthday girl

[Verse 2]
G
Just because you learn to breathe
G
Underwater, doesn't mean
C D
You ever shake the fear of being drowned
G
Between the sparks and junkyard thoughts
G
The things I stole, the things I lost
C D
You could build a city in my hair
C
In my hair

[Chorus]
Em G
Save me, I get lost so easy
C
C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl
Em G
The rains came, turned all the hills green
C
Turned the dirt to flowers, birthday girl
Em
I don't know what to do
