It's Not
View chords used in this chart
C Am Em
I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
C Am Em
a wire travels underground to a vacant lot
F Em Am
where something I can't see interrupts the current
F G Am
and shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
F Em Am
and from behind the screen it can look so perfect
F C C/B
but it's not
so here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light C Am Em
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what C Am Em
so red turns into green turning into yellow F Em Am
but I'm just frozen here in the same old spot F G Am
and all I have to do is to press the pedal F Em Am /G
but I'm not F C C/B
but I'm not F C C/B
Am F C Em/B
People are tricky you can't afford to show
Am F C Em/B
anything risky anything they don't know
Fmaj7 C E Am Am7/G F
the moment you try - well, kiss it goodbye
so baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator C Am Em
and let me fall into the dream of the astronaut C Am Em
for I'll get lost in space that goes on forever F Em Am
and you make all the rest just an afterthought F G Am
and I'll believe it's you could make it better F Em Am /G
though it's not F C C/B
no it's not Am F C C/B
no it's not Am F C
