xThis is Miles Hunt's - The Cake
Its a great song, I first heard on rockworld.tv
The lyrics might be a bit off, I did them from ear as I couldn't find them online!
but the chords are correct :)
Am
I thought at first there had been a mistake,
C
When a car had dropped me off the cake,
G Am
And told me there was cause for celebration
Am
I said mate you’ve got the wrong address
C
I’m living with a world of stress
G Am
So remove the cake and all its connotations
Dm
He looked me squarely in the eyes
Am
And have you ever wandered why?
C G Am
The constitution has sunk below the belt
Dm
A cake my friend will make amends
Am
For your disappointment or loss of friends
C G Am
But the one I bring has been made with so much guile
{Chorus}
Dm
I said I
Am
Me oh my
C G Am
A sense of humour is usually required
Dm
I said I
Am
Oh me oh my
C G Am
A sense of you is usually required
Am
Am
With that I thought I couldn’t hear no more
C
So I took the cake and I shoved it all
G Am
In the place in the centre of my table
Am
Before too long the sunken heart
C
Came up from our centre spot
G Am
Unto my head this thing I found able
Dm
To consider who would be so kind
Am
To think of me in these worthwhile times
C G Am
And how could I feign a true cause?
Dm
I’ll take a slice and bag the rest
Am
And send it to someone at best
C G Am
Whose luck was worse than mine, but about to change
{Chorus}
Violin Solo
Am, C, G, Am
Am, C, G, Am
Am
I said to occupy the thoughts of one
C
And to hold you merely as a son
G Am
Cannot be taken lightly or undone
Am
A simply gesture such as this
C
Can raise you up and clear the mist
G Am
Should never be forgotten or dismissed
{Chorus} X2
Am to fade
