[E] Here lies the powder [B] and [F#] perfume [Bm] The pretty clothes [C#] are scattered round [G] [F#] the room
[E] And [Em] it's all like candy [F#]
Here lies the lipstick [B] and the [F#] [Bm] face
[D] The colored [C#] tablets keep it all [G] in [F#] place [E] And it's [Em] all like candy
It's all like [A] candy
[D] What did I do [F#] to make you go?
[Bm] Why must you [D] be the one [G] that I have to [Gm] love so?
[D] Like candy
[Dm] Here [F#] lies the picture of a [Bm] girl [D] Her arms are tied [C#] around that [G] lucky [F#] guy
[Em] And it's all like candy
[Bm] [E] And in her eyes a [B] certain love [Bm] [A] I [D] thought I'd seen the [C#] last of long [G] [F#] ago
[B] And [E] it's [Em] all like candy
And it's all like [D]
candy
[A] [D] What did I do [F#] to make you go?
[B] Why must you [D] be the one [G] that I have to [Gm] love so?
I remember the day [A#] that that picture was taken We [D] were so happy [A] then
But [D] that's all like [Gm] candy She seems so sweet to [A#] me
I was mistaken Oh no, [D] not that [A] again
But that's [D] all like candy
She just can't face the [A] day So she [C#m] turns and [Bm] melts away
Here [C#] [G] [E] lies [C#] the [B] wreckage that she [C#] [Bm] scratched [A] [D] And on the sleeve I [C#] find a [G] note [F#] attached
And [E] it's [Em] all like candy
[Bm] [F#] My darling did [E] her touch [Bm] a waste [G] She couldn't say [G#] goodbye but I admire [Bm] her taste
And [Em] it's all like candy
[Em] [D] [Em] It's all like candy
[Bm]
It's all like candy
It's all like candy
It's [D] all like candy
[F#m] [Em] [D]
