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