Minimal Affection

INTRO

C#m F#m G#m F#m x2

VERSE

     C#m               F#m
In a world of minimal affection,
         G#m               F#m
Can you give yourself in a word,
     C#m                    F#m
To a girl with a washed-out complexion,
         G#m             F#m
She's a mutual friend of ours.

C#m              F#m            G#m
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
                F#m
Is there anyone there?
     C#m               F#m
You forget how to make a connection,
           G#m               F#m
And you've wanted one for so long.

CHORUS

E       A
Moving on,
F#m                    B
We don't have a lot in common,
E         A
When the world,
F#m                      B
If you don’t even know my name.

INTERLUDE

VERSE

     C#m               F#m
What a life if not for affection,
         G#m             F#m
Felt invisible, took too hard,
     C#m                 F#m
Felt enough and drove to distraction,
      G#m           F#m
As if everyone went away,


C#m              F#m            G#m
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
                F#m
Is there anyone there?
     C#m               F#m
Fell back and into the quiet,
           G#m               F#m      A
Where I wanted you for so long.

CHORUS

E       A
Moving on,
F#m                    B
We don't have a lot in common,
E         A
When the world,
F#m                      B
If you don’t even know my name.

E                             A
How am I supposed to hear you calling,
F#m                        B
If I can’t hear a word you say?
E                             A
How am I supposed to hear you calling,
F#m                        B
If I can’t hear a word you say?
