[Verse 1]
Year [D]after year,
Though every dream of a pony
would end in [G]tears,
The cake was lit and as you
blew the candles [A]out,
Your heart refilled,
And every [D]year your dream was [G]killed.
[A]It may take

[Verse 2]
[D]an ocean of
[G]whiskey and time
[Em]To wash al[A]l of the let-
down out of [D]your mind,
And this [Bm]may not b[G]e the thing
you reques[Em]ted,
But [A]I am the ans[D]wer
to [G]all [A]your pray[D]ers.
All [A]this

[Verse 3]
[D]time[Bm]
In[G]terested [Em]agents have been
[A]eavesdropping [D]upstairs,
When will you [G]recognise [A]that I am
the an[D]swer to all [A]your pray[D]ers?
You [A]ordered

[Verse 4]
[D]well -
They brought you medium- rare,
You were promised [G]fair,
And in response a clap of thunder broke the [A]air,
The weather changed, the sky went [D]black,
And then it [G]rained.
[A]It may take

[Verse 5]
[D]an oce[Bm]an of
[G]whiskey and time
[Em]To wash all [A]of the let-
down out of [D]your mind,
And this [Bm]may not b[G]e the
item you selec[Em]ted,
But [A]I am the ans[D]wer
to [G]all your [A]pray[D] ers.
All [A]this time

[Verse 6]
[D]
The surveil[G]lance [Em]machine has
been all [A]up in your affair[D]s,
When will you [G]realise [Em]that I am [A]the
an[D]swer to [G]all [A]your pray[D]ers?
It [A]might seem

[Verse 7]
[F#m]like a thankless existence[Bm]
But don't lose hope just yet,
You'll be re[B]membered
for your persistence,
And [G]this is [Em]the thanks [A]you [C#dim]get.
[A]You wanted tall,

[Verse 8]
[D]
I came in under 5'4,
Then you asked for [G]dark,
I tend to sunburn a lot,
As for handsome, [A]well,
Can't help you there,
So make of [D]it what [G]you will.
[A]It may take

[Verse 9]
[D]an oce[Bm]an of
[G]whiskey and time
[Em]To wash all [A]of the let-
down out of [G]your mind,
[D]And I may[Bm] not be t[G]he one you expected[Em]
But [A]I am the ans[D]wer to all y[A]our praye[D]rs.
All [A]this

[Verse 10]
[D]time[Bm]
In[G]terested [Em]agents have been
[A]eavesdropping upstair[D]s,
When will you [G]get [A]tha[Em]t I a[A]m the
an[D]swer to [G]all [A]your pray[D]ers?
[G]All [A]this time

[Verse 11]
[D]
The surveil[G]lance [Em]machine has
been all [A]up in your affair[D]s,
It should [G]be clear to you [Em]by now
[A]That [D]I am the fin[G]al a[A]nswer[D]
to [G]all [D]your prayers.
