[Intro]
  G
JuGmp into the night gas up and downshift
Cruise Gup the coast on the FM drift
It's a cCrazy world on the head of a Gpin
GSome other time on some other star
I might've Amcried but now you only need to look so far
As the smile on my Gface to see the shape I'm in
Tried Glove in a bottle tried love in a box
Play it Gall night long dance 'til you drop
And it's Csure got soul but it's not flesh and Gblood
I tried Glooking for love but I guess it's true
You don't Amlook for love it's gonna look for you
Well you found me, Ghoney and you sound so good
[CHORUS]
You're the Dobject of my afCfection
Not a Ddream or make beClievGe
You're the Dobject of my afCfectFion
Come to Gme
Now we Gsee the women In the photograph
Sweet GAnne of Mercy And Sylvia Plath
For a Cthousand words they got a life Gsentence
If we lined Gup all the girls who died in vain
We could Amwalk on their heads to hell and back again
But I got the Big GBook and antidepressants
[CHORUS]
You're the Dobject of my afCfection
Not a Dphantom fantaCsyG  
You're the Dobject of my afCfecFtion
Come to Gme   Hey!
[INSTRUMENTAL]
  G  C  G  C  G
You're the Dobject of my afCfection
Not a Dtoy with batteCrieGs
You're the Dobject of my afCfection
Not a Drescue remeCdyG  
You're the Dobject of my afCfectFion
Come to Gme

[Intro]

Jump into the night gas up and downshift

Cruise up the coast on the FM drift

C G

It's a crazy world on the head of a pin

Some other time on some other star

I might've cried but now you only need to look so far

As the smile on my face to see the shape I'm in

Tried love in a bottle tried love in a box

Play it all night long dance 'til you drop

C G

And it's sure got soul but it's not flesh and blood

I tried looking for love but I guess it's true

You don't look for love it's gonna look for you

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

Come to me

Now we see the women In the photograph

Sweet Anne of Mercy And Sylvia Plath

C G

For a thousand words they got a life sentence

If we lined up all the girls who died in vain

We could walk on their heads to hell and back again

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

Come to me Hey!

[INSTRUMENTAL]

G C G C G

D C

You're the object of my affection

D C G

Not a toy with batteries

D C

You're the object of my affection

D C G

Not a rescue remedy

D C F

You're the object of my affection

Come to me
