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