Am9
  My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
G6
  I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
Am9
  My friend implores me, "For one time only,
G6
  Make an exception."I am not worried
Am9
  Wrap her up in a package of lies. Send her off to a coconut island
G6
  I am not worried. I am not overly concerned 
Am9
  with the status of my emotions. "Oh," she says, "you're changing."
         G6
But we're always changing. It does not bother me to say 


E5
  this isn't love
C7M                          Dsus2              E5
  cause if you don't want to talk about it then... it isn't love
C7M                          Dsus2
  And I guess I'm gonna have to live with that
   E5                                          C7M
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
                 Dsus2
Or something in between
   E5                         C7M
And I can always change my name
               Dsus2
If that's what you mean


Am9
  My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
            G6
But I am not really worried. I am not overly concerned
Am9     
  You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself 
                       G6
To make yourself forget. To make yourself forget, I am not worried... 


E5          
  "If it's love," she said, 
C7M                         Dsus2                 E5
  "then we're gonna have to think about the consequences."
                 C7M                Dsus2
She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and


G              Cadd9               Em7       Dsus4            G
This time when kindness falls like rain,  it washes her away
    Cadd9       Em7       Dsus4         G
and Anna begins...  to change her mind
         Cadd9               Em7         Dsus4          G
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days",
      Cadd9    Em7              Dsus4                Am9
she says: " and I am not ready for this sort of thing "
 


But I'm not going to break
                       G6
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
                   Am9
I'm not going to bend and I'm not going to break
                       G6                    Am9
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
                                                G6
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."

But it's not all that easy... so maybe I should
Am9
Snap her up in a butterfly net
                                  G6
Pin her down on a photograph album
                                                 E5
I am not worried; I've done this sort of thing before
                                 

C7M                      Dsus2                 E5
    But then I start to think about the consequences
                       C7M               Dsus2
cause I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and
 

      G         C9                  Em7        Dsus4      G
This time when kindness falls like rain it washes me away 
    C9         Em7    Dsus4        G
and Anna begins... to change my mind
     C9                 Em7    Dsus4    
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
G     C9      Em7       Dsus4            G
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
 

      C9                Em7      Dsus4          G
She's talking in her sleep, it's keeping me awake
    C9         Em7    Dsus4        G
and Anna begins... to toss and turn
    C9               Em7         Dsus4
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
G     C9      Em7       Dsus4            G
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
 

      C9                Em7      Dsus4          G
Her kindness bangs a gong, it's moving me along
    C9         Em7       Dsus4     G
and Anna begins... to fade away
     C9            Em7    Dsus4
It's chasing me away. She disappears and
G     C9      Em7       Dsus4            G
Oh Lord, I am not ready for this sort of thing
