      Fm                  C
Your skin is warm like an oven
      C#             G#
Your kiss is sugary sweet
      Fm                C
Your fingers feel like cotton
         C#                   G#
When you put your arms around me
    Fm                  C
It feels like I'm just missing
C#                      G#
Something whenever you leave
      Fm          C
We've got all the ingredients
  C#               G#
Except you loving me
A#m            C
And respectfully

Chorus:
Fm         C        C#
I'm not a piece of cake
    G#              Fm
For you to just discard
           C     C#
While you walk away
          G#             Fm
With the frosting of my heart
    C         C#
So I'm taking back
       G#
What's mine, you'll miss
     Fm
The slice of heaven that
   C           C#       G#
I gave to you last night

You smell just like vanilla
You taste like buttercream
You're filling up my senses
With empty calories
It feels like I'm just missing
Something whenever you leave
We've got all the ingredients
Except you needing me
So respectfully

Chorus

   C#
If I am just a piece of cake
            Fm
I am just a piece of cake
       C
Then, you're just a piece of meat
              C7
You're just a piece of meat to me - x2

Chorus

     Fm                     C
The slice of heaven that I gave
     C#                      G#
S-S-Slice of heaven that I gave to you
     Fm
The Slice of heaven
        C
That I gave to you
          C# G#
Last night
