Am
  My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."

G
  I am not worried, I am not overly concerned

Am
  My friend implores me, "For one time only,

G
  Make an exception."I am not worried

Am
  Wrap her up in a package of lies. Send her off to a coconut island

G
  I am not worried. I am not overly concerned

Am
  with the status of my emotions. "Oh," she says, "you're changing."

             G
  But we're always changing. It does not bother me to say -

Em
  This isn't love

             C                  D                 Em
  Because if you don't want to talk about it then... it isn't love

        C                       D
  And I guess I'm gonna have to live with that

          Em                                   C
  But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey

                     D
  Or something in between

     Em                      C
  And I can always change my name

            D
  If that's what you mean

Am
  My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."

          G
  But I am not really worried. I am not overly concerned

Am  
  You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself

                         G
  To make yourself forget. To make yourself forget. I am not worried...

           Em                    C                    D               Em
  "If it's love," she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the consequences."

                        C             D
  She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and

       G         C                   Em      D            G      C      Em      D              G
  This time when kindness falls like rain it washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind

         C                Em               D              G                C
  "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says

      Em            D                G
  And I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Am
  But I'm not gonna break

                       G
  And I'm not gonna worry about it anymore

                    Am
  I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break

                       G
  And I'm not gonna worry about it anymore

Am
  It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."

G
  But it's not all that easy... so maybe I should

Am
  Snap her up in a butterfly net

G
  I am not worried

Em   C                    D                  Em
      But then I start to think about the consequences

                         C                D
  Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and

       G         C                   Em
  This time when kindness falls like rain

     D           G      C      Em      D             G
  It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind

      C              Em          D
  And every time she sneezes I believe it's love and

  G   C    Em            D                     G
  Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

        C              Em
  She's talking in her sleep

       D           G
  It's keeping me awake and

  C      Em      D            G
  Anna begins to toss and turn

      C             Em             D
  And every word is nonsense but I understand and

  G   C    Em            D                     G
  Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

      C                Em
  Her kindness bangs a gong

       D          G        C      Em      D        G
  It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away

       C            Em
  It's chasing me away

      D
  She disappears and

  G   C    Am            D                G
  Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
