Here lies the [F#] powder and perfume, [Bm]
the dirty clothes that [C#] scattered [G] round [F#] the room.
And it's [Em] sold like candy.
[B] [C#] Here lies the [F#] lipstick and the [Bm] face, [A] the colored tablets [C#] keep it [G] all in [F#] place.
And it's [Em] sold like candy.
Like [A] candy.
[D] What did I do [F#] to make her go?

[C#] Here lies the picture of [F#] a girl,
[Bm] [A] her arms [D] are tied around [C#] that [G] lucky [F#] guy.
And [Em] it's sold like candy.
[C#] And in her eyes a [Bm] certain look, [A] I thought I'd seen the [C#] last of long [F#] ago.

and on the sleeve I find [C#] a note [G]
[F#] attached.
