[Verse 1]
F#
When they sat down at the Ouija board
B/F#
He could feel her fingers move
C# F# B
Trying to find their future with her hands
F# B B
F#
Turning to the spirit world
B/F#
Looking for some cosmic clue
C# F# B
In a language that they both might understand
F# B B
C# F#
But she wasn't looking for a remedy
B
She knew she'd break his heart
C# F#
She just wanted to go quietly
B
Like it was written in the stars
C# F#
But it all comes out eventually
B
No matter how hard you resist
C# F#
That might be a harsh reality
G# B
But that's the only kind there is
[Chorus]
F#/A# B
It's not the whisper in your ear
C# D#m
It's not banging of the drum
F#/A# B
It's not the person that you were
C# D#m
It's not the person you become
F#/A# B
It's not where you're headed to
C# D#m
And it's not where you're coming from
F#/A# B
The only life you're gonna live
C# D#m
Is out between the zero and the one
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F#
When she shuffled all the tarot cards
B/F#
He could see her stack the deck
C# F# B
But still turned up the tower and the moon
F# B B
F#
Well, she did try to disregard
B/F#
And clutch that crystal 'round her neck
C# F# B
While they both felt a presence leave the room
F# B B
C# F#
And he finally saw the difference
B
Between her history and her past
C# F#
How she's been looking for deliverance
B
From something she will never grasp
C# F#
She even had the nerve to tell him
B
That she tried hard as she could
C# F#
It's like she never even loved him
G# B
As much as the reasons why she should
[Chorus]
F#/A# B
It's not the whisper in your ear
C# D#m
It's not banging of the drum
F#/A# B
It's not the person that you were
C# D#m
It's not the person you become
F#/A# B
It's not where you're headed to
C# D#m
And it's not where you're coming from
F#/A# B
The only life you're gonna live
C# D#m
Is out between the zero and the one
[Post-Chorus]
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
F#/A# B C# D#m
[Verse 3]
C# F#
So she must stake the superstitions
B
For the excuses that she needs
C# F#
To keep explaining her condition
B
To the few friends, she could keep
C# F#
But don't give them another thought
B
There's no need for us to dwell
C# F#
They are fine and they are not
G# B
Just like everybody else
G# B
Yeah, like everybody else
[Chorus]
F#/A# B
It's not the whisper in your ear
C# D#m
It's not banging of the drum
F#/A# B
It's not the person that you were
C# D#m
It's not the person you become
F#/A# B
It's not where you're headed to
C# D#m
And it's not where you're coming from
F#/A# B
The only life you're gonna live
C# D#m
Is out between the zero and the one
[Post-Chorus]
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
F#/A# B C# D#m
Out between the zero and the one
