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

And I listened as you said to me you'd rather die than grow
Bm G
Die than grow, die than grow

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

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

Everything we were is dead

Then a well of hope and talent sprang, and I caught a glimpse of light

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

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

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