American Candy

	  		Holy Molly, isn't this new album by The Maine just amazing? Here's my acoustic version for American Candy! 
Don't hesitate to leave your corrections below! The song is basically built around 3 chords: Gm, Eb and Bb  
(or Em, C and G, if you put a  
). Also there's  F (or D with  
Capo on 3rd) in the bridge. 

 
 

Intro: Em C G 

verse 1: 

Em              C               G 
What will you do on the weekends 
Em                       
When your best friends 
C                        G 
Become your dead friends? 
Em 
From all the sugar 
C                    G 
And all the sweetness 
Em                    
This little sweet tooth 
C                  G 
It is your weakness 




G                      Em 
They've got american candy 
                    C           G 
You're sweet and sated, so sedated 
                  Em 
For the american kids 
                     C              G 
You're hooked and baited, annihilated 
             Em 
Even if you wanted to 
                        C             G 
You couldn't stop it's just so sweet 
                   Em        
But this american candy 
C               Em        C       G 
It'll rot your teeth 


verse 2: 

Em                   C                  G 
Try to think back to back to a time when 
Em                       C                   G 
You loved what you loved because you loved it 
Em 
Before the sugar 
C                    G 
And all the sweetness 
Em 
Filled up your lungs now 
C                     G 
It's all you breath in 



G                      Em 
They've got american candy 
                    C           G 
You're sweet and sated, so sedated 
                  Em 
For the american kids 
                     C              G 
You're hooked and baited, annihilated 
             Em 
Even if you wanted to 
                        C             G 
You couldn't stop it's just so sweet 
                   Em        
But this american candy 
C               G 
It'll rot your teeth, your teeth, your! 



Bridge C-G-Em-D all the way): 

C                               G 
Sometimes I feel as though I'm going mad when 
Em                      D 
I get a touch of saccharine on my lips 
C                            G 
I hate the taste on my tongue too damn sweet 
Em            D             C        G        Em 
I don't fancy american candy 

D             C       G       Em       D 
American candy 

C (one stroke) 



                     Em 
They've got american candy 
                    C           G 
You're sweet and sated, so sedated 
                  Em 
For the american kids 
                     C              G 
You're hooked and baited, annihilated 
             Em 
Even if you wanted to 
                        C             G 
You couldn't stop it's just so sweet 
                   Em        
But this american candy 
C               G 
It'll rot your teeth 

Until your gums the bleed 


Coda C-G-Em-D): 
C                            G 
I hate the taste on my tongue too damn sweet 
Em             D 
I don't fancy american candy, 
C    G                   Em          D
