Standard (EADGBE)

I always wonder where you are

I'm right beside you, you're so far away

One moment you're not facing me, one moment you're not chasing me

I don't believe in good, goodbyes

'Cause even when the roses die there's still some thorns left in your side

It's like a funeral for the bride

And I know candy girls, yeah they just rot your teeth

But I've always been such a sucker for sweets

Chorus

I need affection

All I want right now is affection

I don't mean to point your direction

Girl it's not what you do, what you don't do makes me have to talk to you

about affection

I need affection

Mmmhmmhmmhmm

[Same Chords]

Somewhere alone is when I died

On the banks of some canal, yeah the river bed of tears I tried to hide

Even fools will believe in lies

And if every word you ever said were true

You'd be my God and I'd just pray to you

Chorus

For affection

All I want right now is affection

I don't mean to make a confession

Girl it's not what you do, what you don't do makes a man come on blue

No affection

I need affection

Why won't you dance with me?

(Covered in gas and you couldn't catch fire)

There's no more romance with me

(I know there's someone else burning your eyes)

You don't think I see you but I see right through you, baby

Chorus chords

Woah Affection! (Affection!)

All I wanted was affection (Affection!)

All I needed was affection

What you do? (What you do) What you do? (What, what you do?)

Affection!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. [x3]

You don't think I see you, I see right through you

You don't think I see you, but I do
