Intro: Abm

Verse 1:
E                    Abm
It's not the energy reeling
         B             Abm
Nor the lines in your face
         E             Abm
Nor the clouds on the ceiling
         E             Abm
Nor the clouds in the space


E                    Abm
It's not the phone on the table
       B          Abm
Nor the bed in the earth
      E           Abm
Nor the bed in the stable
           E     Abm
Nor your stable words


E                Abm
It's not the formless being
       B           Abm
Nor the cry in the air
        E        Abm
Nor the boy I'm seeing
          E         Abm
With her long black hair


E                 Abm
It’s not the open weaving
          B      Abm
Nor the furnace glow
          E             Abm
Nor the blood of your bleeding
         E        Abm
As you try to let go

Chorus:
E 
It's not the room
E 
Not beginning
Abm
Not the crowd
Abm
Not winning
B
Not the planet not spinning
E 
Not a ruse, not heat
Abm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
B
Not food, not to eat

Verse 2:
E                     Abm
Not the meat of your thigh
           B      Abm
Nor your spine tattoo
           E       Abm
Nor your shimmery eye
         E         Abm
Nor the wet of the dew


E                    Abm
It's not the warm illusion
          B          Abm
Nor the crack in the plate
          E           Abm
Nor the breath of confusion
          E           Abm
Nor the starkness of slate

Chorus:
E 
It's not the room
E 
Not beginning
Abm
Not the crowd
Abm
Not winning
B
Not the planet not spinning
E 
Not a ruse, not heat
Abm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
B
Not food, not to eat

Verse 3:
E                     Abm
Not what you really wanted
         B          Abm
Nor the mess in your purse
        E             Abm
Nor the bed that is haunted
          E           Abm
With the blanket of thirst
E                     Abm
It's not the hunger revealing
         B              Abm
Nor the ricochet in the cave
         E            Abm
Nor the hand that is healing
         E        Abm
Nor the nameless grave

Chorus:
E 
It's not the room
E 
Not beginning
Abm
Not the crowd
Abm
Not winning
B
Not the planet not spinning
E 
Not a ruse, not heat
Abm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
B
Not food, not to eat


E 
Not to die
E 
Not dying
Abm
Not to laugh
Abm
Not lying
B
Not the vacant wilderness vying


E 
Not the room
E 
Not beginning
Abm
Not the crowd
Abm
Not winning
B
Not the planet not spinning
