Rob Thomas — Absence Of Affection

Verse I:
             Am
You got your hands down under the table
             F   
You got your head right up in the clouds
    G         Am
You take your best shot when you're able
         F                          G
But your world don't spin right now
     Am
It's high time you found a lover
     F                           G
It's high time you made a friend
                Am
The world won't keep you together, babe
         F              
And your heart won't see no end
  G
I say

Chorus:
F                 G        Dm
 And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone
F                   G        Am
 In the absence of affection
                                F   G  Dm
We'll take anything and call it love
F                   G        Am
 In the absence of affection
                                    Am  F  G
We'll take anything and call it love

Am  F  G

Verse II:
             Am
You got your flash friends waiting to meet you
                   F                         G
They're stuck like butterflies up on the wall
           Am
And in the night life no one can beat you
    F 
Ooh, you look so pretty it's a pity just to touch you
        Am
But you never know when it's gonna fall
    F
You never know when it's gonna fall
G      Am
So you fake it until you make it
              F
And beat your head against that wall

Chorus:
F                 G        Dm
 And if everybody wants you

Tell me why are you so alone
F                   G        Am
 In the absence of affection
                                F  G  Dm
We'll take anything and call it love
F                   G        Am
 In the absence of affection
                                    Am  F  G
We'll take anything and call it love
