Cake (aussi typographié CAKE) est un groupe de rock alternatif américain formé à Sacramento (Californie) en 1991.  Bien que leur style musical soit la plupart du temps considéré comme de l'alternatif ou de l'indie rock, celui-ci est plutôt un savant mélange de nombreuses influences telles que le funk, le ska, le jazz, le rap et la country. Ce style particulier leur a valu d'être comparé à King Missile, Talking Heads ou encore Soul Coughing.

Pretty Pink Ribbon

Verse 1:
E                      A
I don't want to wonder if this is a blunder
E                      A
I don't want to worry whether we're gonna stay together till we die
E                       A
I don't want to jump in unless this music's thumping
E                            A
All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive


Chorus:
E                   A 
 I want to love you madly
E                   A
 I want to love you now
E                   A
 I want to love you madly
E                    A                  E     A    E    A 
 I want to love you, love you, love you madly


Verse 2:
E                        A
I don't want to fake it, I just want to make it
E                                     A
The ornaments look pretty but they're pulling down the branches of the tree
E                               A
I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about it
E                                A
When I kiss your lips, I want to sink down to the bottom of the sea


(repeat Chorus) 


Verse 3:
E                          A
I don't want to hold back, I don't want to slip down
E                                 A
I don't want to think back to the one thing that I know I should have done
E                          A
I don't want to doubt you, know everything about you
E                              A
I don't want to sit across the table from you wishing I could run


(repeat Chorus)

When she walks she swings her arms, instead of her hips,

A                           Asus      D                      E
Ive wondered if I should hang on, Ive wondered if I should hang on.

Chorus:

Let me go she said, Let me go she said,

Let me go, Let me go,

Let me go and I will want you.

Intro: (Am Dm G C F B E)

       Am
At first I was afraid.
           Dm
I was petrified.
                     G7
I kept thinking I could never live
               C
Without you by my side.
              F
But then I spent so many nights
                  B
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong.
          E
I grew strong.
I learned how to get along.
                Am               Dm
And so you're back from outer space.
          G7
I just walked in to find you here
                C
Without that look upon your face.
                 F
I should have changed my fucking lock.
                B
I would have made you leave your key
                E
If I'd have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me.

Didnt see this on the site, so got the guitar tabs and tried them out. Sounds really close.

Intro: G for two measures.

G
People you love
D                    Em
Will turn their backs on you
C                     G
You'll lose your hair
D
Your teeth
Em                              C
Your knife will fall out of its sheath
G                            D                          G   D

G               D             Em              C
People you hate will get their hooks into you
                     G
They'll pull you down
D
You'll frown
Em                                    C
They'll tar you and drag you through town

End Of The Movie

# Guitar by Cake (Prolonging the Magic)
# You can change the guitar to ukelele if u like ;)
# By the way, i changed the Dsus4 to D7 cause it sounds nicer



    G              C              G             D        D7     G
I'm sitting by the window of your thirty-second floor apartment

                 C                  D      D7
Waiting for your phone calls all to end

    G                C
I'm sitting watching wind blow

         G
Watching time go

         D         D7
Watching cars go by

    G                 C             D     D7
I'm waiting for these memories to begin



   G          C
If I threw my guitar

        G              D    D7
Out the window, so far down

      G          C
Would I start to regret it 

   G                 D               G
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall? 



Garbage trucks and taxi cabs 
Don't seem like they can reach me here
The clamor of jack-hammers seems so faint
The way you treat me like the only
Slightly brings me down a lot
I don't think that I'll ever be the same 

If I threw my guitar
Out the window, so far down
Would I start to regret it 
Or would I smile and watch it slowly fall?

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair 

C                           F             G     
Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere? 

    Dm                              G                 Dm
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down 

      C F E Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby ...    don't take your love to town 

   Dm                             C
It wasn't me who started that old crazy Asian war 

    Dm                          F         G
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore 

    Dm                              G
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be 

Dm C F E Dm x                      C
Oh Ruby...  I still need some company 

     C                                 F             G   Dm 
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed 

        C                                    F         G
And the wants and needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize 

Dm                                           G
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around 

F C F E Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby... don't take your love to town 

x
And she's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door 

x
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before 

      Dm                               G                     Dm
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground 

   C F E Dm x                       C
Oh Ruby...  don't take your love to town 

   F E Dm x
Oh Ruby...for God's sake, turn around 


Turn around

	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’

             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
