[Verse 1]
 
G*
  Eight years old, to the day
C*
  You blew your candles off the cake
Em*          D*                      C*
  Wishing too hard for them to stay
 
  You burnt the house down
 
[Verse 2]
 
G*
  She held the match, he held her face
C*
  You learned to hate your birthday
Em*                 D*                   C*
  Calling her bitch, despite your wish
 
They had to separate
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C            Bm         D
   And the room sings
           Em                C
And it sounds like leaving home
      Bm        D
The room sings
 Em                G
We know something you don't
 
   Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G*
  Now he's quite the stand-up guy
C*
  He stood you up 'least twelve times
Em*            D*                  C*
  And when he finally does arrive
 
  He brings his new wife
 
[Verse 4]
 
G*
  The family shrink from second floor
C*
  The one he claimed he couldn't afford
Em*             D*                      C*
  Your mother cries, clings to the floor
 
  You knock his lights out
 
 
[Chorus]
C            Bm         D
   And the room sings
           Em                C
And it sounds like leaving home
      Bm        D
The room sings
 Em                G
We know something you don't
 
   Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C
 
[Interlude]
 
G  Em  Bm  C
G  Em  Bm  C
 
[Outro]
C            Bm         D
   And the room sings
           Em                C
And it sounds like leaving home
      Bm        D
The room sings
 Em                G
We know something you don't
      Bm       D
The room sings
        Em
And it sounds like there's no love
