[Verse 1]
F
When they sat down at the Ouija board
A#/F
He could feel her fingers move
C F A#
Trying to find their future with her hands
F A# A#
F
Turning to the spirit world
A#/F
Looking for some cosmic clue
C F A#
In a language that they both might understand
F A# A#
C F
But she wasn't looking for a remedy
A#
She knew she'd break his heart
C F
She just wanted to go quietly
A#
Like it was written in the stars
C F
But it all comes out eventually
A#
No matter how hard you resist
C F
That might be a harsh reality
G A#
But that's the only kind there is
[Chorus]
F/A A#
It's not the whisper in your ear
C Dm
It's not banging of the drum
F/A A#
It's not the person that you were
C Dm
It's not the person you become
F/A A#
It's not where you're headed to
C Dm
And it's not where you're coming from
F/A A#
The only life you're gonna live
C Dm
Is out between the zero and the one
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
[Instrumental]
F/A A# C Dm
[Verse 2]
F
When she shuffled all the tarot cards
A#/F
He could see her stack the deck
C F A#
But still turned up the tower and the moon
F A# A#
F
Well, she did try to disregard
A#/F
And clutch that crystal 'round her neck
C F A#
While they both felt a presence leave the room
F A# A#
C F
And he finally saw the difference
A#
Between her history and her past
C F
How she's been looking for deliverance
A#
From something she will never grasp
C F
She even had the nerve to tell him
A#
That she tried hard as she could
C F
It's like she never even loved him
G A#
As much as the reasons why she should
[Chorus]
F/A A#
It's not the whisper in your ear
C Dm
It's not banging of the drum
F/A A#
It's not the person that you were
C Dm
It's not the person you become
F/A A#
It's not where you're headed to
C Dm
And it's not where you're coming from
F/A A#
The only life you're gonna live
C Dm
Is out between the zero and the one
[Post-Chorus]
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
F/A A# C Dm
[Verse 3]
C F
So she must stake the superstitions
A#
For the excuses that she needs
C F
To keep explaining her condition
A#
To the few friends, she could keep
C F
But don't give them another thought
A#
There's no need for us to dwell
C F
They are fine and they are not
G A#
Just like everybody else
G A#
Yeah, like everybody else
[Chorus]
F/A A#
It's not the whisper in your ear
C Dm
It's not banging of the drum
F/A A#
It's not the person that you were
C Dm
It's not the person you become
F/A A#
It's not where you're headed to
C Dm
And it's not where you're coming from
F/A A#
The only life you're gonna live
C Dm
Is out between the zero and the one
[Post-Chorus]
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
F/A A# C Dm
Out between the zero and the one
