If you've watched my Life in Letters video, you probably will know that I have a best friend called Alice.
Today, July the 12th, she turned 18.
It's her birthday today, yay!
For her birthday, I wrote her a song.
And if you'd like to say happy birthday to Alice, please do.
It will probably be late, but oh [F] well!
Enjoy!
Muddy handprints in your kitty
A promise made that I know I [Bb] will keep
[Ab] Even though it was made [Eb] in those careless days [F] of naivety
Pinky promises and contracts signed
A closer pair you'll never [Bb] find
Good [C] luck trying
And [Bb] the reason why it's taken [Dm] me so long
[F] To write such a [C] mediocre song
Is because [Bb] I'll never be able [C] to show you how proud [Bb] I am
[C]
We've gone [F] from braces to lipstick
[Bb] From [Bbm] bikes to the road
[F] From doodles and [Bb] stories to [Bbm] coursework on our own
[Am] From boyfriend to [Bb] boyfriend I've watched you grow
Till a beautiful Alice [Bbm] I'm so proud to know [F] I'm on board
It's pretty clear that we are strong
I'd like to say the wedding is [Bb] still on
[Ab] But in all sincerity, [Eb] you're being here with me [F] for life
And the red sofa bed is, I don't know where
And the now 69 albums not being played for years
[Bb] But look at us now, we'd still do [C] it if we could
[Bb] The reason why it's taken [Dm] me so long
[F] To write such a [C] mediocre song
Is because [Bb] I'll never be able [C] to show you how proud [Bb] I am
[C]
We've gone [F] from braces to lipstick
[Bb] From [Bbm] bikes to the road
[F] From doodles and [Bb] stories to coursework on our [Am] own
From boyfriend to [Bb] boyfriend I've watched you grow
Till a beautiful Alice [Bbm] I'm so proud to know I love [F] you
[Eb] I'm certain [Bb] I'm not as pretty as others
[F] I mean it
[Eb] I can't just gather up my [Bb] pee drinks
Fuck [F] on your girl
[Eb] My phone does a ring [Bb] to tell me
You're five [F] minutes away
[Eb] But Alice Christina [Bb] Webb, you're here [C] to stay
[Bb] The reason why it's taken [Dm] me so long
[F] To write such a [C] mediocre song
Is because [Bb] I'll never be able [C] to tell you how [Bb] proud I am
[C]
[F] We've gone from braces to lipstick
[Bb] From bikes to [Bbm] the road
From [F] doodles and [Bb] stories to coursework on our [Am] own
From boyfriend to [Bb] boyfriend I've watched you grow
Till a beautiful Alice [Bbm] I'm so proud to know [F] I love you
[Bb] [C]
[F]
[Ab]
I'm kidding
Alice, you're my best friend
And there's no need to [Gb] cry because you're not going anywhere
[E]
Goodbye Sarah and Alice
[Gb]
