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 

       D        Bm7      G            Em7

              G/B G   Em       A/C#       D         G   A    D         
When will you re - cognize that I am the answer to all your prayers?

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

       D        Bm7      G            Em7

It might seem like a thankless existence
    Bm
But don't lose hope just yet
            B7
You'll be remembered for your persistence
    G6                      C#dim/G
And this is the thanks you get

	   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

When will you ge - et that I am the answer to all your prayers?
