Am C Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette. G F Am Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed C G F Silk sheet, blue dawn, Colgate, tongue warm Em Am Won't you quit your crying? I can't sleep Em One minute I'm a little sweetheart G Am And next minute you are an absolute creep C 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 G All you ever think about are sick ideas F involving me, involving you Am C Supermarket, what packet of crackers to pick? G F Am They're all the same, one brand, one name, but really they're not C Look, look, just choose something quick G People are staring, time to come quick in F Cheeks are on fire; just choose something, something, something Am C Pressure overwhelming G Next minute I am turning out of the door, F facing one week without food Am C a day, a day when things are pretty bad G Don't let it make you feel sad, F Em the crackers were probably bad luck anyway Am Em Can't let your cold heart be free G Am When you act like you've got an OCD C We've got obsessions G I want to erase every nasty thought that F Am bugs me every day of every week C We've got obsessions G You never tell me what it is that makes you F strong and what it is that makes Am you weak. Interlude: C G F Am C G F Am C Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette G F Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable again.

5 ukulele chords used in "Obsessions" by Marina and the Diamonds: Am, C, Em, F and G
Me singing this song:
….look look um…
QUICK…dang!
Uuuuuhhhhhh?
THE CRAKERS WHERE PROBABLY BAD LUCK ANYWAY!!!!!
Help me.
I hope this helps anyone but: I usually play the song like this.
I do single downstrums until “Won’t you quit your crying” to “you are an absolute creep” i do four down strums for each chord, and after that i continue down strums
Once you get to supermarket do the traditional DDU UDU UDU UDU for each chord. Continue that for the rest of the song. After the interlude I revert back to just a down strum 🙂 I hope this helps!!!
Put -2 Capo 2 and it sounds great!
Ok I tried it with single downstrums and it sounded GREAT, but what’s the actual stunning pattern or which one works best
It’s almost perfect. I made a few adjustments and it was.. if I knew the chord names for what I played I would make one but I dont…
I can try to explain..the C.. in needed to sound sadder (more minor-y? I didn’t pay attention in band class) so i added an a.. and a minor didnt sound right.. I don’t know what chord I used but it was c, f, a, c. The F was c, f, a, f. For E minor b, e, a flat, b. That one still didn’t sound quite right to me though but it was closest I could get without actually pulling the song up. Everything else was fine.
If it feels weird I guess it might be because I tune to A, D, F#, B. But I played the chords without using tabs.. so a G for me is a G for everyone. It will sound fine I’m just mentioning the tuning because maybe with a different tuning the finger placement may be weirder for you. For my tuning its an easy adjustment. Try it if you can though.
