C                   G
I came to make it right
    D
I know it was your birthday
 Am            G/B
Now I do remember
C                       G
But these days my mind ain't right
 D                         Am                   G/B
Maybe it's the pressure, think you can forgive me
C                G
Don't over think it baby
 D                      Am
Doesn't mean that I am falling out of love

Chorus:
                     G
Don't you think that I
                   F                    Em
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
              D
Someone to depend on
                      Am
I don't know what's wrong with me
                     G
Don't you think that I
                   F                    Em
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
                    D                 Am
Someone that would never forget your birthday

I bet your family
Never wanna see me
Sisters wanna knee me
Most times I think they're right
Whistle in my memory
Away just like a melody
And what was that alibi
Think what it's like to be me
Before you leave me

Chorus

E
When I met ya
                        D
You were looking for a sunny day
   G
A little bit of fun
        D/F#                 E
And a whole lot of running away
                               E
And now you're looking at somebody
                         D
That you would love to change

Chorus:
                     G
Don't you think that I
                   F                    Em
Wish that I could be somebody else for you
             D
Someone you could count on
                Am     G F Em D Am
What is taking so long?

                     G
Don't you think that I
                   F                    Em
Wish that I could be somebody else sometimes
                    D                 Am
Someone that would never forget your birthday
Baby, happy birthday
