Earn My Affections

C#
I work hard for what I got
E
Plenty overtime
                 C#
When I clock out I'm worn and beat down

But still ready to fly
                        A
Here you come with those unsteady eyes
C#m
Like you been looking for something you cannot find
                   C#
Right through me, like my fruit ain't fit for making pie


[Chorus]
                               Gm
You’ve got to earn my affection
                    F#
Put your back into it
               C#
Before we get this show on the road
        A                      C#
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
C#m                 F#
I ain't desperate yet so
            C#                     G
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know


[Verse 2]
         C#m
You’re a beautiful mess
 C#
But every attic has a treasure
 F#                         C#
And I been known, to throw my apron on

And scrub to reveal a shine
                      C#m
Let the good lord have mercy on you
   C#m
Before I do

If you were in the area and just passing through
                                C#
Come correctly, come strong and don't drag your good foot behind


[Chorus]
                          G
You’ve got to earn my affection

Put your back into it
F#m            C#
Before we get this show on the road
                  Gm
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
                       F#
I ain't desperate yet so
                                               C#
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know


[Bridge]
      C#
You set a pretty table and serve me raw meat

Ask me to your show but don't save me a seat

Say together we can sail, then add me to your fleet
                                                          G
The perfect pair of pants are ruined with the addition of a pleat
                        C#                          G
I demand a flat surface where I can firmly plant my feet
            C#                              B
And stand, it's my democratic right to say man you should...


[Chorus]
                  C#
You’ve got to earn my affection

Put your back into it
    F#              C#m
Before we get this show on the road
  C#
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
                       F#m
I ain't desperate yet so
                                   C#
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know
