Year after year

Though every dream of a pony would end in tears

Your heart refilled

And every year
G A
Your dream was killed

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 Em A/C#
And this may not be the thing you requested but I
D G A D
Am the answer to all your prayers
G A D Bm7
All this time
G Em7 A/C# A D/F# D
Interested agents have been eavesdropping upstairs
G/B G Em A/C# D G A D
When will you re - cognize that I am the answer to all your prayers?

They brought you medium rare

You were promised fair
A
And in response a clap of thunder broke the air
The weather changed

The sky went black
G A
And then it rained

Am the answer to all your prayers

All this time

When will you re - alize that I am the answer to all your prayers?

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
So make of it what you will
D Bm7 G Em7
It may take an ocean of whiskey and time

Am the answer to all your prayers

All this time

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