[note: the outro vocal directions are loosely based on her humming at the end, you can change the sounds,
or not sing at all if you want, or just skip to the ending chords.]



Em7    A7
Again, again
                      Dmaj7        Bm7
I'm frightened by the thought of you
Em7    A7
Again, again
                Dmaj7                             Bm7
But then you go away, and by that I'm frightened too
Em7    A7
Again, again
         Amaj7 Dmaj7                Bm7
A word, only a sound if you misuse it
Em7    A7
Again, again
               Dmaj7             Bm7
I'll be made a clown if I abuse it



Em7        A7                 Amaj7
 Get so blue when I'm next to you
Dmaj7               Bm7        B7
Oh what is it I've done that I don't understand?
Em7                   A7
With the guessin' I'm through
                        Dmaj7
I've been wrong before, I don't mind
        Bm7 B7                 Em7
I don't think about it so much anymore



  A7         Dmaj7 Bm7 Bm
I do, I do, I do
Em7     A7            Dmaj7
  I don't, I don't, I don't

I, I



Gmaj7          Cmaj7            Dmaj7
 A word only a sound if you let it
Bm7             A7                     Dmaj7           Gmaj7
 Things become only their name, so instead it, eh, eh, eh
             Cmaj7                       Dmaj7
Takes it's new life, you never meant to give it wings that way
Bm7                A7                    Dmaj7
 Watch it take flight and then land in another day, eh, eh,
    Gmaj7   Cmaj7   Dmaj7
eh, eh



Em7        Amaj7
  Get so blue when I'm next to you
Dmaj7                Bm7
Oh, what is it I've done that I don't understand
Em7                    A7
 With the guessin' I'm through
                        Dmaj7
I've been wrong before, I don't mind
        Bm7                    Em7
I don't think about it so much anymore



         A    Dmaj7  Bm7 Em7
I do, I do, I do
            A Amaj7   Dmaj7
I don't, I don't, I don't
   Bm7
I, I
