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                
Don't make me lose all my 
      C#
self-respect
C#m                 F#
I ain't desperate yet so
            C#                     
Come on now, stop acting out and act
G
 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
Come correctly, come strong and 
C#
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
Come on now, stop acting out and act
           C#
 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
The perfect pair of pants are ruined
                      G
 with the addition of a pleat
                        C#         
I demand a flat surface where I can
                 G
 firmly plant my feet
            C#                     
And stand, it's my democratic right
         B
 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
Come on now, stop acting out and 
C#
act like you know
