E
		             Am   	Am/G
Here lies the powder and perfume
				  D     F   E
The pretty clothes are scattered 'round the room
	 Dm			E
And it's so like Candy

		               Am	Am/G
Here lies the lipstick and the face
			     D   F  E
The coloured tablets keep it all in place
	 Dm
And it's so like Candy
	    G
So like Candy

C	      E
What did I do to make her go
Am          G
Why must she be the one
F
That I have to love
Fm      C		E
So like Candy

                         Am	Am/G
Here lies a picture of a girl
                               D  F  E
Her arms are tight around that lucky guy
	 Dm		E
And it's so like Candy
			  Am	Am/G
And in her eyes a certain look
			       D    F E
I thought I'd seen the last of long ago
	 Dm 
And it's so like Candy
	    G
So like Candy

C             E
What did I do to make her go
Am          G
Why must she be the one
F
That I have to love
Fm
So like Candy

    F                   G#
I remember the day that picture was taken
	   C
We were so happy then
G                  C
But that's so like Candy
F                         G#
She seemed so sweet to me I was mistaken
	  C
Oh no not that again
G		   C
But that's so like Candy

	       G        C
She just can't face the day
G                Am 
So she turns and melts away

			      Am	Am/G
Here lie the records that she scratched
			   D    F E
And on the sleeve I find a note attached
	 Dm	 	E
And it's so like Candy
			     Am	    	Am/G
"My Darling Dear it's such a waste" 
				D    F        E
She couldn't say "Goodye", but "I admire your taste"
	 Dm 
And it's so like Candy
