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

. I am not worried.  I am not overly
   Am                            %
concerned. 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
   Am                                   %
concerned with the status of my emotions "Oh," she says, "you're changing."
G                          %                         Em
But we're always changing.  It does not bother me to say

Em
.  This isn't love
C                              D
  Because if you don't want to talk about it then
Em
.  It isn't love
C                                  D
  And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
        Em
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of
C                 D
grey or something in between
Em
.  And I can always change my

 C                   D
name 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
   Am                                   %
concerned. You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
   G                    %
To make yourself forget.  I am not worried

         Em
"If it's love," she said,
C                            D
"then we're going to have to think about the
Em
consequences." She can't stop
C                    D
shaking I can't stop touching her and

G              C                   Am       D
This time when kindness falls like rain, it washes her
G        C      Am      D
away and Anna begins to change her
G           C                Am               D
mind "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for
G          C         Am            D                Am
days," she says, and I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Am                      %
   But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to

 G                 %
worry about it anymore. I'm not going to
Am                       %
bend and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to
G                      %
worry about it anymore.  It seems like I should
Am                       %
say, "As long as this is love..." But it's not all that
G       %
easy so maybe I should
Am                            %
Snap her up in a butterfly net, pin her down on a photograph album
G                        %                         Em
. I am not worried; I've done this sort of thing before

         C            D
But then . I start to think about the
Em
consequences.  Because I don't get no
C                D
sleep in a quiet room and...

G              C                   Am       D
This time when kindness falls like rain, it washes me
G        C      Am      D
away and Anna begins to change my
G         C             Am          D
mind, and everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
G  C     Am            D                G
Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

G     C              Am          D
She's talking in her sleep, it's keeping me

  G        C      Am      D
awake and Anna begins to toss and
G         C             Am             D
turn, and every word is nonsense but I understand and
G  C     Am            D
Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of
G           C                Am         D
thing.  Her kindness bangs a gong, it's moving me
 G        C      Am      D
along and Anna begins to fade
 G         C           Am       D
away. It's chasing me away. She disappears and
G  C     Am            D                G
Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing.
