Here are the chords for the song Minimal Affection, the third track from The Vaccines' upcoming LP entitled
English Graffiti, nothing too complicated here, if you've got barre chords down you should find this one
pretty easy. Capo on 2nd, if you want to play it without a capo, take the chords up a step (the first chord
should be Ebm) Enjoy.

C#m F#m G#m F#m x2
VERSE
C#m F#m
In a world of minimal affection,
G#m F#m
Can you give yourself in a word,
C#m F#m
To a girl with a washed-out complexion,
G#m F#m
She's a mutual friend of ours.
C#m F#m G#m
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
F#m
Is there anyone there?
C#m F#m
You forget how to make a connection,
G#m F#m
And you've wanted one for so long.
A
CHORUS
E A
Moving on,
F#m B
We don't have a lot in common,
E A
When the world,
F#m B
If you don’t even know my name.
INTERLUDE
C#m F#m G#m F#m
VERSE
C#m F#m
What a life if not for affection,
G#m F#m
Felt invisible, took too hard,
C#m F#m
Felt enough and drove to distraction,
G#m F#m
As if everyone went away,
C#m F#m G#m
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
F#m
Is there anyone there?
C#m F#m
Fell back and into the quiet,
G#m F#m A
Where I wanted you for so long.
CHORUS
E A
Moving on,
F#m B
We don't have a lot in common,
E A
When the world,
F#m B
If you don’t even know my name.
E A
How am I supposed to hear you calling,
F#m B
If I can’t hear a word you say?
E A
How am I supposed to hear you calling,
F#m B
If I can’t hear a word you say?

Moving on,

We don't have a lot in common,

If you don’t even know my name.

If I can’t hear a word you say?

If I can’t hear a word you say?
