[Verse 1]
F#m E
Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain
F#m E
Inside every young pair of pants there's a mountain
Bm E A F#m
Inside every mother's eyes is Tommy Tinkrem's bed
Bm E A F#m E E
Inside every candidate waits a grateful dead

[Chorus 1]
Bm F# A A
I make it a thing, when I'm on my own to relieve myself
Bm F# A A
I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself
Bm F# E E
I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased with myself
A F# (Bm)
Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home

Bm Bm E A 2x

[Verse 2]
F#m E
I took it so bad, I sat in the correction room
F#m E
Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon
Bm E A F#m
Well, I ain't gonna suck no radar wing because inside this tin is tin
Bm E A F#m E E
Would you like to techno-plate 'cause I'm your candidate, oh yeah

[Chorus 2]
Bm F# A A
It's a matter of life, And the way you walk, you've got a BrylCream queen
Bm F# A A
It's a matter of tact , In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
Bm F# E E
A matter of fact , That a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen
A F# (Bm)
So I'll pretend I'm walking home

You don't have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune

You don't have to scream a lot to predict monsoons
Bm E A F#m
You don't have to paint my contact black, Now I've hustled a pair of jeans
Bm E A F#m E E
Do I have to give your money back when I'm the Fuhrerling?

[Chorus 3]
Bm F# A A
I'll make you a deal, I'll say I came from Earth and my tongue is taped
Bm F# A A
I'll make you a deal, You can get your kicks on the candidate
Bm F# E E
I'll make you a deal, For your future's sake, I'm the candidate
A F# (Bm)
Lets pretend we're walking home
