Bm Bm E A x3
[Verse 1]
F#m E Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain F#m E Inside every young pair of pants there's a mountain Bm E A F#m Inside every mother's eyes is Tommy Tinkrem's bed Bm E A F#m E Inside every candidate waits a grateful dead
[Chorus 1]
Bm F# G I make it a thing, when I'm on my own to relieve myself Bm F# G I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself Bm F# E I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased with myself G E Bm Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F#m E I took it so bad, I sat in the correction room F#m E Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon Bm E A F#m Well, I ain't gonna suck no radar wing because inside this tin is tin Bm E A F#m E Would you like to techno-plate 'cause I'm your candidate, oh yeah
[Chorus 2]
Bm F# G It's a matter of life, and the way you walk, you've got a BrylCream queen Bm F# G It's a matter of tact, in the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean Bm F# E A matter of fact, that a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen G E Bm So I'll pretend I'm walking home
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F#m E You don't have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune F#m E You don't have to scream a lot to predict monsoons Bm E A F#m You don't have to paint my contact black, now I've hustled a pair of jeans Bm E A F#m E Do I have to give your money back when I'm the Fuhrerling?
[Chorus 3]
Bm F# G I'll make you a deal, I'll say I came from Earth and my tongue is taped Bm F# G I'll make you a deal, you can get your kicks on the candidate Bm F# E I'll make you a deal, for your future's sake, I'm the candidate G E Bm Let's pretend we're walking home
[Outro]
