              (intro) G D C Em 
 
G      D   C                Em 
Candy says, oh I've come to hate my body 
C            G           D             ( D Dsus4 ) 
And all that it requires in this world. 
G     D            C           Em              C 
Candy says, oooohhh, I need to know completely 
           G                D 
What other souls discreetly talk about. 
 
G         C                  D 
I'm gonna watch the bluebird fly, 
( D Dsus4 ) 
Over my shoulder. 
G             C                 D 
And I'm gonna watch him pass me by, 
( D Dsus4 ) 
When I'm older. 
C                 G 
What do you think I'd see, 
D                         C 
If I could walk away from me? 
 
(verso 2) 
Candy says, ooohhh, I hate the quiet places 
That cause the smallest taste of what will be. (that's what they told me) 
Candy says, ooohh, I hate the big decisions 
that cause the endless revisions in my mind. 
(that's why I'm doing fine) 
 
(Refrão) 
 
(solo) G  D  C  Em  C  G  D 
 
(Refrão)
