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