Facebook told me it's your birthday
C F
I wouldn't have known any other way
C F
'Cause we coexist in a mutually unstated
G
Unattached cohesion that Facebook created
C F
So I got ten seconds and they're just for you
C F
To write on your wall like good people do
C F
To keep our weak social tie with minimal maintenance
G C
Happy Birthday to my loose acquaintance
Dm
Look through my photo album, you're not in it
Dm
If I saw you on the street, it would take me a minute
C
But I'm such a thoughtful person and I totally care
G
That's why there are three exclamation points there
Am F
Colon, parentheses to be more compelling
C F
All caps so it's just like I'm just yelling
C F C F
From top of my heart just to keep status quo
G
Happy birthday dear person who I sort of know
C F
We both know you're not my real friend
C F
You're a biproduct of a social networking trend
C F
But you feel just as indifferently about me
G
So there's no guilt in our apathetic reciprocity
Am F
So if we don't talk much or at all this year
Am F
Remember I sent you this afterthought cheer
C F
To keep our minor affinity with minimal maintenance
G C
Happy Birthday to my loose acquaintance
