[Intro]
G
G
Jump into the night gas up and downshift
G
Cruise up the coast on the FM drift
C G
It's a crazy world on the head of a pin
G
Some other time on some other star
Am
I might've cried but now you only need to look so far
G
As the smile on my face to see the shape I'm in
G
Tried love in a bottle tried love in a box
G
Play it all night long dance 'til you drop
C G
And it's sure got soul but it's not flesh and blood
G
I tried looking for love but I guess it's true
Am
You don't look for love it's gonna look for you
G
Well you found me, honey and you sound so good
[CHORUS]
D C
You're the object of my affection
D C G
Not a dream or make believe
D C F
You're the object of my affection
G
Come to me
G
Now we see the women In the photograph
G
Sweet Anne of Mercy And Sylvia Plath
C G
For a thousand words they got a life sentence
G
If we lined up all the girls who died in vain
Am
We could walk on their heads to hell and back again
G
But I got the Big Book and antidepressants
[CHORUS]
D C
You're the object of my affection
D C G
Not a phantom fantasy
D C F
You're the object of my affection
G
Come to me Hey!
