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