Year after year 
                                          G
Though every dream of a pony would end in tears 
                                             A
The cake was lit and as you blew the candles out 

Your heart refilled 
          D
And every year 
               G        A
Your dream was killed 
 
PDC HORUS
      D       D/B      G           G/E
It may take an ocean of whiskey and time
        A/C#       A       D/F#        D    
To wash all of the letdown out of your mind
         G/B            G           A/E         A/C# 
And this may not be the thing you requested but I 
       D         G   A    D   
Am the answer to all your prayers 

CHORUS
G   A    D    Bm  G          Em               A/C#     A      D/F#   D
All this ti - ime interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs 
              G/B  G     A/E      A/C#      D         G   A    D   
When will you re - cog - nize that I am the answer to all your prayers? 

VERSE
G    A       D
 You ordered well 

They brought you medium rare 
                  G
You were promised fair 
                                            A
And in response a clap of thunder broke the air 

The weather changed 
             D
The sky went black 
            G      A 
And then it rained

Am the answer to all your prayers

All this ti - ime the surveillance machine has been all up in your affairs

  It might seem like a thankless existence 
    Bm
But don't lose hope just yet 
            B7
You'll be remembered for your persistence 
    Em                     A
And this is the thanks you get

VERSE
           D     
You wanted tall I came in under 5'4 
                   G
Then you asked for dark 

I tend to sunburn a lot 
                 A
As for handsome, well 

Can't help you there 
           D           G    A
So make of it what you will
