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

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
