I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me

Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only nineteen
      Dm                                       Fm
But I fear they already got all the best parts of me

Start to not be enough?

When will everyone have every reason to call all my bluffs?
         C                 Am7
When are all my excuses of learning my lessons
    F
Gonna start to feel sad?
       C                        Am7                   F
Will I spend all the rest of my years wishin' I could go back?

     Em           E              F           C
I'll blow out the candles, happy birthday to me

Got your whole life ahead of you, you're only nineteen

But I fear they already got all the best parts of me

im in love with lou and all his little things **

Robin

I think for the last Chorus, C should be played at “things”, Em at “out, ad D at “mouth”. It sounds much prettier!

niamshipper_09

Maddie

I would reccomend on the second “it’s you” using G!
Just my preference

I use the strumming patter D UU D UU DDU if that makes sense. It took a while for me to get it but when I did it sounded good in my opinion!
On the bridge I use DDDDU but I strum a bit harder on the third down strum.

I’ve played this song so many times. The amount of affection I feel is amazing because it just gets too me! I have personally never really been a fan of 1 Direction, but “little things” has made the difference:)I have heard of other versions where you pick at the beginning! This song is amazing either way though.
