[VERSE 1]
G                C                           G 
Can you say your name to me, put mine after yours?

G                C                               G 
Can we build a house of glass without windows or doors?

G                 C                                G 
Will you learn to love yourself the way I know you should?

G               C                                    G 
Can we find the courage there to call our friendship good?

        Bm             G   
Call it good, call it good  
[CHORUS]
G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G                     C                                     G 
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do

G           C                         G    Em  D  C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you  
[VERSE 2]
G                    C                             G 
The world is closing in on me, I think it's time I go

G                       C                                     G 
And with your sad young eyes you've taught me things I didn't know

G                          C                                  G 
And my heart broke down to powder there and I wish I'd let it show

G                     C                                G 
And I listened as you said to me you'd rather die than grow

         Bm             G   
Die than grow, die than grow
[CHORUS]
G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G                     C                                     G 
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do

G           C                         G    Em  D  C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you  
[VERSE 3]
G                         C                            G 
So I watched as those who ask for love, demanding some respect

G                  C                              G 
Became the last in line to have what they come to expect

G                C                              G 
As what nobody taught them that they so rightly deserve

G                        C                                  G 
And the hums of their misfortune peaked, the hardest lesson learned

       Bm              G 
Lesson learned, lesson learned  
[CHORUS]
G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G           C                         G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G                     C                                     G 
Don't let romance and beating hearts change what we came to do

G           C                         G    Em  D  C
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you  
[BRIDGE]
  G                  C
To watch us fall is why they came

   G                    Em          C
And fall we did, to the call of the highway

G                    C                   Em    
Don't go home, don't look ahead, don't look behind

D                     C     
Everything we were is dead
[VERSE 4]
G                       C                                        G 
Then a well of hope and talent sprang, and I caught a glimpse of light

G                             C                                G 
And I drank from there as the colors rang out loudly from your eyes

G         C                           G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

G                    C                                     G 
Don't let romance or beating hearts change what we came to do

G         C                           G 
Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you (Repeat.  Lose yourself in it!) 

         Bm             G 
Die then grow, Die then grow

         Bm             G 
Die then grow, Die then grow
