[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
C/G Em
It's not the energy reeling
G Em
Nor the lines in your face
C/G Em
Nor the clouds on the ceiling
C/G Em
Nor the clouds in the space
C/G Em
It's not the phone on the table
G Em
Nor the bed in the earth
C/G Em
Nor the bed in the stable
C/G Em
Nor your stable words
C/G Em
It's not the formless being
G Em
Nor the cry in the air
C/G Em
Nor the boy I'm seeing
C/G Em
With her long black hair
C/G Em
It’s not the open weaving
G Em
Nor the furnace glow
C/G Em
Nor the blood of your bleeding
C/G Em
As you try to let go
[Chorus]
C/G
It's not the room
C/G
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C/G
Not a ruse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
[Verse 2]
C/G Em
Not the meat of your thigh
G Em
Nor your spine tattoo
C/G Em
Nor your shimmery eye
C/G Em
Nor the wet of the dew
C/G Em
It's not the warm illusion
G Em
Nor the crack in the plate
C/G Em
Nor the breath of confusion
C/G Em
Nor the starkness of slate
[Chorus]
C/G
It's not the room
C/G
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C/G
Not a ruse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
[Verse 3]
C/G Em
Not what you really wanted
G Em
Nor the mess in your purse
C/G Em
Nor the bed that is haunted
C/G Em
With the blanket of thirst
C/G Em
It's not the hunger revealing
G Em
Nor the ricochet in the cave
C/G Em
Nor the hand that is healing
C/G Em
Nor the nameless grave
[Chorus]
C/G
It's not the room
C/G
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C/G
Not a ruse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
C/G
Not to die
C/G
Not dying
Em
Not to laugh
Em
Not lying
G
Not the vacant wilderness vying
C/G
Not the room
C/G
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
