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