 Here lies a picture of a girl

 And in her eyes a certain look

Am/G                            B7   F7  E7

[break] [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
[Interlude] | Am | Am/G | B7/F# F7 | [Verse 5] [break]
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

 "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]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
