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