Holy Molly, isn't this new album by The Maine just amazing? Here's my acoustic version for American Candy!
Don't hesitate to leave your corrections below! The song is basically built around 3 chords: Gm, Eb MajorEb and Bb majorBb
(or Em, C majorC and G, if you put a capo on 3rd fret). Also there's FF (or D MajorD with capo on 3rd) in the bridge.

C majorC                G+G
Sometimes I feel as though I'm going mad when
E minorEm           D MajorD
I get a touch of saccharine on my lips
