[Intro]
Oh oh oh
EOh oh oh
FOh oh oh
Oh oh Coh oh oh
[Verse 1]
CYeah, I'm walking to your house, and it's kinda cold, but I don't mEind
Cause the last beer I Fhad warmed me up
And I'm on sort of Main Street singing Johnny GCash
And I almost get hit by a car, and Ftell this dude to fuck off
And he Crolls down his window, and he's got this weird mustache, and I laugh
He turns around, and I run, and I get lost
But I find my way back, Fand I see the street light
I see McNally Avenue, and I get excitedG  
GI see a hedge, and a house, and a Fhall light, I get nervous, and knock, and Cwait
Yeah, I picked up a few things on the way
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Chorus]
CI got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
I got a Fgram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
And I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right iCdea
C(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
I can't Fwait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
Now I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right iCdea
[Verse 2]
CI'm gonna leave now, cause your neighbor's looking at me like a Russian Spy
She's Fpeeking out the window
I take the back streets, and behind
Your Ghouse, and this kid walks up to me, and Fasks if I got a light
I say "CI 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
But you told Fme not to hopscotch, cause that's what girls did
And I Gsit on the Cwoodchips thinking "FI'll smoke away my stash"
Cause yCou're out there somewhere, and I'm here alone
And that's that
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Chorus]
CI got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
I got a Fgram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
And I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right Cidea
C(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
I can't Fwait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
Now I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right iCdea
[Bridge]
CFor all these plans that failed, I gave myself the road
It's not so bad, my good intentions give me hope
DOne of these nights, I'll come around andC  
CAnd you'll meet me at the door
C(Oh oh oh oh oh)
CI'm prepared to wait, so just take your time
We'll get it figured out a little farther down the line
GOne of these nights, I'll come around and Fsay
"CBaby, I picked up a few things on the way"
[Chorus]
CI got a tikka masala
That's the right idea
I got a Fgram, and 10 dollars
That's the right idea
And I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right Cidea
C(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow
That's the right idea
I can't Fwait any longer
Should be good to see ya'
Now I'm Goutside your window, and Fnobody's home
But I got the right iCdea

[Intro]

Oh oh oh

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

Cause the last beer I had warmed me up

And I'm on sort of Main Street singing Johnny Cash

And I almost get hit by a car, and tell this dude to fuck off

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

But I find my way back, and I see the street light

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]

I got a tikka masala

That's the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That's the right idea

G F

And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow

That's the right idea

I can't wait any longer

Should be good to see ya'

G F

Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna leave now, cause your neighbor's looking at me like a Russian Spy

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

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

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"

Cause you're out there somewhere, and I'm here alone

And that's that

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

[Chorus]

I got a tikka masala

That's the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That's the right idea

G F

And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow

Should be good to see ya'

G F

Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea

[Bridge]

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

And you'll meet me at the door

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

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

"Baby, I picked up a few things on the way"

[Chorus]

I got a tikka masala

That's the right idea

I got a gram, and 10 dollars

That's the right idea

G F

And I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea

(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

I'm gonna call ya' tomorrow

That's the right idea

I can't wait any longer

Should be good to see ya'

G F

Now I'm outside your window, and nobody's home

But I got the right idea
