[Verse 1]
[break]
E7sus4                       Am
 Here lies the powder and perfume
Am/G                               B7    F7  E7
 The pretty clothes are scattered 'round the room
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
 
 
[Verse 2]
[break]
E7sus4                          Am
 Here lies the lipstick and the face
Am/G                          B7  F7 E7
 The coloured tablets keep it all in place
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
        Gsus4 G
So like Candy
 
 
[Chorus]
C             E7
What did I do to make her go
Am           Am/G
Why must she be the one
F
That I have to love
Fm [break]  C
So ... like Candy
 
 
[Verse 3]

E7sus4                    Am
 Here lies a picture of a girl
Am/G                            B7 F7 E7
 Her arms are tight around that lucky guy
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
 
 
[Verse 4]
[break]
E7sus4                     Am
 And in her eyes a certain look
Am/G                            B7   F7  E7
 I thought I'd seen the last of long a - go
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
        Gsus4 G
So like Candy
 
 
[Chorus]
C             E7
What did I do to make her go
Am           Am/G
Why must she be the one
F
That I have to love
Fm
So ...

[Middle 8]
    Fm                  G#
I remember the day that picture was taken
G#         C
We were so happy then
G                  C
But that's so like Candy
Fm                         G#
She seemed so sweet to me, I was mistaken
G#        C
Oh no not that again
G                  C
But that's so like Candy
             [break]
               G    C   C
She just can't face the day
G                     [ Am ]
So she turns and melts away

E7sus4                         Am
 Here lie the records that she scratched
Am/G                        B7   F7 E7
 And on the sleeve I find a note attached
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
 
 
[Verse 6]
[break]
E7sus4                        Am
 "My Darling Dear it's such a waste"
F/A                              Am6           Am7
 She couldn't say "Goodye", but "I admire your taste"
         Dm7
And it's so like Candy
Dm7
So like Candy
 
 
[Outro]
Am      Dm7

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
