Sour Candy

Melt


Tom: F

F         Gm   Bb
   Sour candy on the table
F          Gm                Bb
Lazy afternoons in your sweatpants watching cable
F         Gm          Bb
   Well, it feels so far away
F            Gm          Bb
   All the channels seem the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                         F
Trying to remember all the songs we like to play
             Bb                          G
'Cause those lazy afternoons don't come so frequently these days

[Chorus]
F            Bb         Ab
   Oh, it's been so long
       F              Bb
And I cannot help but wonder
        Dm            Ab
Are you ever coming home?
       F                   Dm
I like you with your sour candy
       Bb                 Ab?
In the boathouse on the lake
F                                 Bb
Oh, but I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
  C                     F
I hate the way it tastes

(instrumental bit I'm still trying to figure out)

[Verse 2]
F           Gm            Bb
   I can't get you off of my mind
F               Gm
Looking out the window
         Bb
Where we spent so much of our time
F           Gm              Bb
   'Cause I miss the way it felt
      F                   Gm               Bb          Dm
But I guess you can't control those damn cards we're dealt

[Pre-Chorus]
                                   F
And babe, I know the both of us are happy when we're free
Bb                                 G
But would it be so hard to find your freedom here with me?

[Chorus]
F            Bb         Ab
   Oh, it's been so long
       F              Bb
And I cannot help but wonder
        Dm          Ab
Are you ever coming home?
       F                  Dm
I like you with your sour candy
       Bb                Ab?
In the boathouse on the lake
F                                 Bb
Oh, but I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
  C                 Gm   Dm  Am  Dm
I hate the way it tastes

[Bridge]
   G   Dm Am Dm
And I, ...I

hate the way it tastes
                   Am
But I love it all the same

[x2]

[wicked sax solo]

[Chorus]
           F                              Bb                  Fm
Oh and I know it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, so long
       F              Bb
And I cannot help but wonder
        Dm           Ab
Are you ever coming home?
       F                  Dm
I like you with your sour candy
        you with your sour candy
       Bb                Ab?
In the boathouse on the lake
         F                       Bb
Mm but I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
  C
I hate the way it tastes

[Go right into chorus- F right after "tastes" is the same F of "oh"]
F                     Bb      Ab
Oh, it's been, it's been so long
       F              Bb
And I cannot help but wonder
         Dm          Ab
Are you ever coming home?
           F                   Dm
When I see you with your sour candy
              Bb        Ab?
Don't want it any other way
           F                       Bb
Oh, I just hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate
  C                   F
I hate the way it tastes
