Ed's Redeeming Qualities - Im Not Eating Im Not Anything

      [Verse 1]

 G                   D
Outside the dogs are barking
D              A
    Barking at me
     G                D
And all the cars are parking
 D                A
    Down on the street
   G                  D
My window blinds are closed,
              G           D
it's getting dark in my apartment
    F                 C                D                G
but I won't turn the lights on because I don't care to see


[Verse 2]

         G            D
Now the telephone is ringing
D               A
    ringing for me
         G                   D
and the nextdoor neighbours singing
D                A
   singing born free
     G               D
I'm sitting on the floor,
           G                D
and now I think I hear the doorbell
    F                 C               D               G
but I'm not going to get it 'cause I don't want company

[Verse 3]

        G           D
Now the TV set is blinking
D                A
   it's on the blink
         G                D
and the garbage started stinking
D            A
    or is it me
    G                 D
my head is dripping sweat
             G                   D
but I don't think I'll turn the heat down
       F                 C                D                G
'cause I don't have the time to and I've had too much to drink.


[Verse 4]

         G                D
Now the record player's skipping
D             A
   right over me
          G                    D
and the nextdoor neighbour's tripping
D       A
   on LSD
     G                D
His world is getting funny,
        G            D   (slide whistle)
it is slipping on bananas,
 F                 C              D              G
Mine is just like his but it's already lost its feet.


[Verse 5]

    G                G             D            D
My girlfriend went away because I sent her
     G                  G                D            A      
She took the clothes I gave her and the money that I lent her
         G             G           D               D
she was bent on making me just as make believe as she was
            G             D            A             D
'cause the real world is exit only so she can never enter


[Verse 6]

         G                Em                A                  D         
So I'll plug my nose and close my eyes and stuff my ears with cotton
          G               Em                A                 D
and I'll stick my head beneath the kitchen sink 'til I've forgotten
         G              Em           A      D
and the food in my refrigerator can all go rotten
         G               D             A              D
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.


[Verse 7]

         G               Em               A            D
And the space inside my head will be the world that I live in
        G                Em          A               D
'cause she just kept forgetting, and I just kept forgiving
       G        Em                A       D
and if I break down, it's 'cause she was driven


[Outro]

         G               D             A              D
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.
         G               D             A              D
I'm not eating, I'm not anything 'til she gives up on me.
         G               D             A              D
I'm not eating, I'm not anything...
