The Wedding Cake

[Intro]
D  Em A7 D  Em A7 D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
Don't be troubled 'bout me cause I'm tired
D
From workin' 'round the house
     Em
When day is done
                A7
Don't think you failed me cause you can't afford
                               D
That dishwasher to make my life more fun
D
You know, the measure of a man is
                        D7       G      Gm
Much more than just the money he can make
          D                            Em
And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears
     A7               D
Come with the wedding cake
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
The wedding cake is not all icing
                                    Em
And love and tender whispers in the dark
    A7
One slice is concern for all your dreams prayed
                    D
They won't come true and break your heart
D
Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses
                G                            Gm
Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses
      D                             Em
Every woman knows a lot of give and take
      A7               D    B7  E
Comes with the wedding cake
 
 
[Verse 3]
E
It's facin' shadows of the future
E
Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them
              F#m
Searchin' for the sun
         B7
And it's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door
                                      E
Hugs and kisses when, at last, we see the dawn
E
So when the hands of time trace tellin' lines upon our face
                  A               Am
And lace our hair with strands of gray
             E
We laugh and say for all who will partake
F#m          B7               E    F#m B
It all comes with the wedding cake
 
 
[Outro]
E
Yes, for all who will partake
F#m          B7               E    F#m B
It all comes with the wedding cake
E
Yes, for all who will partake
F#m          B7               E
It all comes with the wedding cake
