Not In Denial

words and music by Howard Ashby Kranz

G G7 C Am

1. I’m not in denial; no, I’m perfectly all right.

D C G-C-G

I can take it or I can leave it, just one more and I’ll call it a night.

G G7 C - Am

I’m not in denial; there’s no need to gab and moan,

D D7 C G-C-G

And I’ll be just fine if you all just leave me alone.

G G7 C - Am

2. I’m not in denial; everything is under control.

D C G-C-G

I like the way my life is going; I just readjusted my goals.

G G7 C - Am

It’s not that I’m afraid of change, I just like it the way it is,

D D7 C G-C-G

And if it ain’t broke, well there ain’t nothing to fix.

D D7 C G -C-G

Bridge: How could I be in denial? I live in the rich happy USA.

D D7 C G-C-G

Oh, this country’s got some problems; we’re going to iron them out someday.

D D7 C G-C-G

When the whole world lives like we do, everything’s going to be just great.

C - Am C D

It’ll be just like the fifties, when you never heard complaints.

G G7 C - Am

3. I’m not in denial; thanks, but I don’t need your help.

D C G-C-G

I’ve got my maps and instruction book; I can find it by myself.

G G7 C - Am

I’m not in denial; everything’s going to be just fine

D D7 C G-C-G

just as soon as everyone else changes their mind.
