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

Before the sugar

Filled up your lungs now
C G
It's all you breath in
G Em
They've got american candy
