Mae Martin - The Birthday Song A Cupcakes Not The Same As A Cake

      [Verse]
  C                             F
A birthday is a special day, it comes once a year
  C                                 F
Forget the world is ending and just be of good cheer
    C                               F
You wake up in the morning and your grandma calls
        C                                F                             C
And you spend an hour crying 'cause only fourteen people wrote on your Facebook wall

[Verse]
         Dm                                G
And your ex writes "happy birthday" with a lowercase 'b'
            C
Followed by dot, dot, dot... (it's just "happy birthday, dot, dot, dot")
                 F
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
             Dm                    G
At work they tie a balloon to your wheely chair
               C                                 F
They got you a cupcake, not a real cake, and you pretend not to care
           Dm                                      G
But it was Christina's birthday last week and they *did* get her a real cake
          C                      F
And she's only a temp, so surely there's been some mistake

[Verse]
          Dm                          G
Because a cupcake's not the same as a cake
     C                     F
It's only one-fifth of the size
  Dm                          G             F          C
A cupcake's not the same as a cake but it's not a big deal–
                        F    C
(I'm just grateful that you remembered)

[Verse]
             C                              F
At night you go out with your best friends, feeling alright
   C                 F           C                    F           C F
Tonight's gonna be a good night, tonight's gonna be a good night (Mazel tov!)
         Dm                           G
It's the time of your life until your best friend mentions,
C                                               F
"Oh my god, you must love birthdays because you love being the center of attention"
(Thank you, Stephanie, thank you for coming, I appreciate it)

[Verse]
    Dm                    G
You started off fresh but now you're feeling muddled
       C                                F
People buying you shots like they wanna get you in trouble
    Dm                                         G
And Stephanie's like "Is it werid for you that you're single but like all your friends are in couples"
(Thanks, Stephanie, you really know me so well)
   C                                 F
On second thoughts, make that gin and tonic a double

[Verse]
                C                    F
Cause it's your birthday, and you're older and wiser
    C          F
But don't feel sad
            C             F
Even if you celebrate the same way as last year, by
C                F
throwing up a ke-bab
    Dm  G
And cry–ing
    Dm                    G
And crying and crying and crying in the bathroom that

[Verse]
       F                           C
That a cupcake's not the same as a cake
     F                     C
It's only one-fifth of the size
  F                           C             G         C
A cupcake's not the same as a cake but it's not a big deal–
(I'm just grateful that you remembered)
