Verse 1
C
Em
It's not the energy reeling
G
Em
Nor the lines in your face
C
Em
Nor the clouds on the ceiling
C
Em
Nor the clouds in space
C
Em
It's not the phone on the table
G
Em
Nor the bed in the earth
C
Em
Nor the bed in the stable
C
Em
Nor your stable words
Verse 2
C
Em
It's not the formless being
G
Em
Nor the cry in the air
C
Em
Nor the boy I'm seeing
C
Em
With her long black hair
C
Em
It's not the open weaving
G
Em
Nor the furnace glow
C
Em
Nor the blood of you bleeding
C
Em
As you try to let go
Chorus 1
C
It's not the room, not beginning
Em
Not the crowd, not winning
G
Not the planet, not spinning
C
Not a rouse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
Verse 3
C
Em
Not the meat of your thigh
G
Em
Nor your spine tattoo
C
Em
Nor your shimmery eye
C
Em
Nor the wet of the dew
C
Em
It's not the warm illusion
G
Em
Nor the crack in the plate
C
Em
Nor the breath of confusion
C
Em
Nor the starkness of slate
Chorus 2
C
It's not the room, not beginning
Em
Not the crowd, not winning
G
Not the planet, not spinning

Not a rouse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
Verse 4
C
Em
Not what you really wanted
G
Em
Nor the mess in your purse
C
Em
Nor the bed that is haunted
C
Em
With a blanket of thirst
C
Em
It's not the hunger revealing
G
Em
Nor the ricochet in the cave
C
Em
Nor the hand that is healing
C
Em
Nor the nameless grave
Chorus 3
C
It's not the room, not beginning
Em
Not the crowd, not winning
G
Not the planet, not spinning
C
Not a rouse, not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food, not to eat
Chorus 4
C
Not to die, not dying
Em
Not to laugh, not lying
G
Not the vacant wilderness vying
C
Not the room, not beginning
Em
Not the crowd, not winning
G
C
Not the planet, not spinning
