Kris Oz figured out the chords but did not have time to type, post, and
upload (public atta girl for Kris). I volunteered. All errors are probably
mine. Hope the formatting works.
I am not by Melissa Ferrick
I am not
--------
Capo at the 3rd Fret
Verses:
G, D, G, D, etc.
Chorus:
C, Em7, C, Em7, Em
C, Em7, C, Em7, Em
G D
I am not smooth and I am not soft
G D
and I am not angry or mean
G
I'm just a little shut off
D
Shut off like the answer no
G D
or like the way water never holds
G D
and I want to be better than I am
G D
Oh yes and I want to need nothing but your hands
G
'Cause mine are so weak
C Em7 C
Oh but my body it wants to move in
Em7
It wants to move in
Em
And your ankles are so strong
C Em7
I have see you kick when you swim
C Em7
You kick when you swim
Em
This time I know this time that I know
D
That I am not wrong yeah
But you know so dry and cracked my heart is set back
Yeah just like the moon
When it's a sliver resting on its back
and I will not say
Just exactly how I feel
Before the answers have yet to be revealed
Oh when my body it wants to move in
it wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have seen you kick when you swim
You kick it when you swim
this time that I know well this time that I know
That I am not wrong
But you know patience is stronger than any kiss
And do how I wonder
If we're ever gonna make it
Are we ever gonna make it
