Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed
     F     Am          G        F
Silk sheet, blue dawn, Colgate, tongue warm
PART 2

Won't you quit your crying? I can't sleep
Em
One minute I'm a little sweetheart

And next minute you are an absolute creep

We've got obsessions
          G                               
I want to wipe out all the sad ideas that 
F                            Am
come to me when I am holding you
         C
We've got obsessions

involving me, involving you

Supermarket, what packet of crackers to pick?
                C/G           C/F            
They're all the same, one brand, one name, 
                   F
but really they're not
                                  Am
Look, look, just choose something quick

Cheeks are on fire; just choose something, something, something

Next minute I am turning out of the door, 
C/F                     F

A day, a day when things, things are pretty bad

When you act like you've got an OCD
