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