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