"SWEET THING" (Sweet Thing, Candidate, Sweet Thing (reprise))
(INTRO)
DO RE/DO DO RE/DO DO
(VERSE 1)
RE/DO DO RE/DO DO
It's safe in the city, to love in a doorway
RE MIm RE
To wrangle some screens from the door
DO RE/DO DO RE/DO
And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?
DO RE MIm
Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash
RE DO RE/DO DO RE/DO
Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
DO RE MIm
So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I
RE SIm
Run to the center of things,
Where the knowing one says
(CHORUS)
REm LAm SOL
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
REm LAm FA SOL
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
REm LAm/DO SOL/SI SOL
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
REm LAm FA SOL DO
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
(VERSE 2)
RE/DO DO
I'm glad that you're older than me
RE/DO DO
Makes me feel important and free
RE MIm RE
Does that make you smile, isn't that me?
DO RE/DO DO RE/DO
I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment
DO RE
If his trade is a curse, then I'll bless you
MIm RE SIm
And turn to the crossroads of hamburgers, and
(CHORUS)
REm LAm SOL
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing
REm LAm FA SOL
Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing
REm LAm/DO SOL/SI SOL
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

"CANDIDATE"
(SAX AND GUITAR SOLOS)
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm
I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
SOL
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
REm LAm
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
SOL
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend
REm LAm SOL
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
Who wrote up scandals in other bars
REm LAm
I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
SOL
Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
REm LAm
Some make you sing and some make you scream
SOL
One makes you wish that you've never been seen
REm LAm
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling paper mache
SOL
Making bulletproof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay
REm LAm SOL
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
REm LAm
So you scream out of line "I want you! I need you!
SOL
Anyone out there? Any time?"
REm LAm
Tres butch little number whines "Hey dirty, I want you
SOL
When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces"
REm LAm SOL
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
REm LAm
Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head
SOL
For I put all I have in another bed
REm LAm
On another floor, in the back of a car
SOL
In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
REm LAm
Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind
SOL
But we can't stop trying 'til we break up our minds
REm LAm
'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young nights
SOL
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
REm LAm
I guess we could cruise down one more time
SOL
With you by my side, it should be fine
REm LAm
We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
SOL
Then jump in the river holding hands
"SWEET THING (reprise)"
(SAX SOLO)
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm SOL
REm LAm/DO SOL
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing
REm LAm FA SOL DO
'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
VERSE 3
RE/DO DO RE/DO DO
Is it nice in your snow storm, freezing your brain?
RE MIm RE
Do you think that your face looks the same?
DO RE/DO DO RE/DO
Then let it be, it's all I ever wanted
DO RE
Its a street with a deal, and a taste
MIm RE SOL LA/SOL
Its got claws, its got me, its got you

E (more or less, there are alot of #9's, dominant 7's, and
such in the bass. E5 would be the safest bet here).
