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