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:
I am not smooth and I am not soft
and I am not angry or mean
I'm just a little shut off
Shut off like the answer no
or like the way water never holds
and I want to be better than I am
Oh yes and I want to need nothing but your hands
'Cause mine are so weak
Oh but my body it wants to move in
It wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have see you kick when you swim
You kick when you swim
This time I know this time that I know
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
