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