  F#m            C#/F        D
I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
F#m             C#/F
It was a little bit cold that night
         D                       A
I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
     D                           C#7
And needing to hide out from my mind

         F#m       C#/F       D   C#7
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

I saw the sky in you
What did you see in me?
This Rubbermaid's had better days
Shake it out, static anonymity
Vanity, dull roar die down

When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays Crimson and Clover
(over and over)
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me in between Siamese cities?

   D            A
Sha la la la, sha la la la
Sha la la la, temporarily
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking (temporarily)
Shaking (temporarily)

(Uh uh)
She is shaking out static anonymity
She is shaking out static anonymity

Anonymity (sha la la la)
Anonymity (sha la la la)

(Uh uh)
Anonymity (sha la la la)
Anonymity (sha la la la)

She is shaking out static anonymity
(sha la la la, sha la la la)
She is shaking out static anonymity
(sha la la la, temporarily)

(Uh uh)
Anonymity (sha la la la)
Anonymity (sha la la la)
Anonymity (sha la la la)
