Oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
C E
Yeah, I'm walking to your house, and it's kinda cold, but I don't mind
F
Cause the last beer I had warmed me up
G
And I'm on sort of Main Street singing Johnny Cash
F
And I almost get hit by a car, and tell this dude to fuck off
C
And he rolls down his window, and he's got this weird mustache, and I laugh
He turns around, and I run, and I get lost
F
But I find my way back, and I see the street light
G
I see McNally Avenue, and I get excited
G F C
I see a hedge, and a house, and a hall light, I get nervous, and knock, and wait
Yeah, I picked up a few things on the way
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Chorus]
C
I got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
F
I got a gram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
G F
And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
C
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
F
I can't wait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
G F
Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
[Verse 2]
C
I'm gonna leave now, cause your neighbor's looking at me like a Russian Spy
F
She's peeking out the window
I take the back streets, and behind
G F
Your house, and this kid walks up to me, and asks if I got a light
C
I say "I don't know, man, I don't even know where I'm going"
I end up at the elementary school where we played when we were kids
F
But you told me not to hopscotch, cause that's what girls did
G C F
And I sit on the woodchips thinking "I'll smoke away my stash"
C
Cause you're out there somewhere, and I'm here alone
And that's that
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Chorus]
C
I got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
F
I got a gram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
G F
And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
C
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
F
I can't wait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
G F
Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
[Bridge]
C
For all these plans that failed, I gave myself the road
It's not so bad, my good intentions give me hope
D C
One of these nights, I'll come around and
C
And you'll meet me at the door
C
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
C
I'm prepared to wait, so just take your time
We'll get it figured out a little farther down the line
G F
One of these nights, I'll come around and say
C
"Baby, I picked up a few things on the way"
[Chorus]
C
I got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
F
I got a gram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
G F
And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
C
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
F
I can't wait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
G F
Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home
C
But I got the right idea
