[Verse 1]
Year [D]after year,
Though every dream of a pony
would end in [G]tears,
The cake was lit and as you

Your heart refilled,
And every [D]year your dream was [G]killed.

[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,

You [A]ordered

[Verse 4]
[D]well -

[Verse 7]
[F#m]like a thankless existence[Bm]

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.
