Chords for Counting Crows: Anna Begins (Best Version)

We're playing some of these electric songs because they've changed so much and because
I think we really know how to play them now.
So this is Anna Begins. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
My _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ friend assures me she says it's all or nothing.
_ But I am not worried and I am [G] not overly [A] concerned.
My friend implored me just [Em] one time only.
Mom make [G] an exception. _
I am not worried.
_ [A] [C] Wrap her up in a [A] package [C#m] of lies.
You send her off to a coconut [Em] island.
[Dm] I am not [G] worried and I am not [Em] overly [A] concerned.
With the sweetness of my emotions.
Oh she says hey you're changing.
[Em] Well we're always changing.
[G] And it does not bother me to [E] say this isn't love.
[Em]
[C] Cause if you don't want to [D] talk about it [Em] then it [E] isn't love.
And I guess [C] I'm gonna have to [D] just live [G] with that.
But [E] I'm sure there's something [Em] in the shade [C] of gray.
Or [D] something in between.
[E] I can always just change my name [C] if that's what [D] you mean.
But my [B] friend assures me she says look [Am] it's [Em] all or nothing.
But I am not really worried. _
[C] [G] And I am [C] not [Em] overly concerned.
[A] You try to tell [G] yourself the [Am] things you try to tell yourself.
Just to [G] make yourself forget.
I am not worried.
Cause if it's [Em] love she said.
Then we're [C] gonna have to think [D] about [Em] the consequence.
Cause she can't stop shaking.
[C] I can't [D] stop touching her at [G] this time.
When [C] kindness falls like [D] rain.
Washes her [G] away.
_ [C] _ [Em]
And I'll begin [D] to [G] change her mind.
[C] And these seconds when [Am] I'm [G] shaking leave me [D] shuddering.
[G] For days she says.
[C] _
[Em] I'm not ready [D] for this sort of [A] thing.
But I'm not gonna [Am] break.
_ _ _ [G] I'm not gonna worry about it anymore.
Cause I'm not gonna break.
And [A] I'm not gonna break.
And I'm _ [G] _ _ not gonna worry about it anymore.
_ [A] I know.
I know.
It seems like I should say oh oh well.
As long as this is love.
[G] _ It's not all that easy.
So maybe I should just [A] snatch her up.
And a [C] butterfly net or pin [A] her down.
[Am] Or a photograph album [G] where I am [Em] not worried.
I just do the same thing over and over and over again.
Then [C] I start to think [D] about [Em] the consequences.
Cause [E] I don't get no [C] sleep.
No [D] I never sleep.
And [G] this time.
[C] The kindness [Am] falls like wind.
[D] Washes me [G] away.
_ [C] And [Em] I'll begin to [D] [G] change my mind.
And every time she [Am] sneezes.
[Em] I [D] think it's [G] love and oh lord.
[C] _
[Em] I'm not ready [D] for this [G] sort of thing.
She's talking in [A] her sleep.
[D] She's keeping [G] me awake.
[C] And [Em] it all begins to [D] talk and turn and [G] talk.
And every word is just [Am] nonsense.
[D] But I understand [G] and hope. _
[C] _ [Em] I'm not [G] ready for this sort of thing.
Her kindness.
[D] Back to God.
It's moving [G] me along.
And it all [C] _ [Em] begins [D] to fade [G] away.
She's chasing me [D] away.
[G] She just disappears and oh [C] lord.
[G] I'm not ready [D] for this [G] sort of thing.
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is _ Dan.
This is Matt.
That's Ben.
_ That's Charlie.
I'm Adam.
And this is David.
_ I gotta go grab a nap for a minute.
See you later. _ _
