Chord Candidate by David Bowie

intro : Dm Am G x5 Dm Am i’ll make you a deal , like any other candidate G we’ll pretend we’re walking home cause your future’s at stake Dm Am my set is amazing , it even smells like a street G there’s a bar at the end where i can meet you and your friend Dm Am someone scrawled on the wall i smell the blood of les tricoteuses G who wrote up scandals in other bars Dm Am i’m having so much fun with the poisonous people G spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up Dm Am some make you sing and some make you scream G one makes you wish that you’d never been seen Dm Am but there’s a shop on the corner that’s selling papier mache G making bullet - proof faces , charlie manson , cassius clay Dm Am G if you want it , boys , get it here , thing Dm so you scream out of line Am G i want you , i need you , anyone out there , any time Dm Am tres butch little number whines hey dirty , i want you G when it’s good , it’s really good , and when it’s bad i go to pieces Dm Am G if you want it , boys , get it here , thing Dm Am well , on the street where you live i could not hold up my head G for i put all i have in another bed Dm Am on another floor , in the back of a car G in the cellar of a church with the door ajar Dm Am well , i guess we must be looking for a different kind G but we can’t stop trying til we break up our minds Dm Am til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights G who press you on the ground while shaking in fright Dm Am i guess we could cruise down one more time G with you by my side , it should be fine Dm Am we’ll buy some drugs and watch a band G then jump in the river holding hands
