It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)loved by an y one.

It’s not un u su al to have (Am7)fun with an y one.

But when I see you hang ing a bout with an y one,

it’s not un u su al to (G)see me cry.

I (D7)wan na die.

It’s not un u su al to go (Am7)out at an y time,

but when I see you out and a (Am7)bout it’s such a crime.

If you should ev er wan na be loved by an y one,

No (Am7)mat ter what you say,

Why can’t this cra zy love be mine?

It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)mad with an y one.

It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)sad with an y one.

But if I ev er find that you’ve changed at an y time,

it’s not un u su al to (G)find that I’m in love with you.
