E minorEm


Verse 1:
C majorC          E minorEm
It's not the energy reeling
     G+G       E minorEm
Nor the lines in your face
     C majorC       E minorEm
Nor the clouds on the ceiling
     G+G       E minorEm
Nor the clouds in the space

C majorC          E minorEm
It's not to fall on the table
    G+G     E minorEm
Not a bed in the earth
   C majorC      E minorEm
Not a bed in the stable
      G+G   E minorEm
Nor your stable words

C majorC       E minorEm
Not the open writhing
    G+G     E minorEm
Not a cry in the air
   C majorC     E minorEm
Not a girl I'm seeing
     G+G     E minorEm
With her long black hair

C majorC        E minorEm
Not the formless being
     G+G   E minorEm
Nor the furnace glow
     C majorC       E minorEm
Nor the blood of your bleeding
     G+G    E minorEm
As you try to let go


Chorus:
C majorC
It's not the room

Not beginning
E minorEm
Not the crowd

Not winning
G+G
Not the planet that's spinning
C majorC
Not a ruse, not heat
E minorEm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G+G
Not food, not to eat

Verse 2:
C majorC          E minorEm
Not the need of your sigh
      G+G   E minorEm
Nor your spine tattoo
      C majorC    E minorEm
Nor your shimmery eye
     G+G     E minorEm
Nor the wet of the dew

C majorC          E minorEm
It's not the warm illusion
     G+G     E minorEm
Or the crack in the plate
     C majorC      E minorEm
Nor the breadth of confusion
     G+G      E minorEm
Nor the starkness of slate


Chorus:
C majorC
It's not the room

Not beginning
E minorEm
Not the crowd

Not winning
G+G
Not the planet that's spinning
C majorC
Not a ruse, not heat
E minorEm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G+G
Not food, not to eat


Verse 3:
C majorC           E minorEm
Not what you really wanted
     G+G     E minorEm
Nor the mess in your purse
    C majorC      E minorEm
Nor the bed that is haunted
     G+G      E minorEm
With the blanket of thirst
C majorC         E minorEm
Not the hunger revealing
     G+G     E minorEm
Nor the ricochet in the cave
     C majorC      E minorEm
Nor the hand that is healing
     G+G    E minorEm
Nor the nameless grave


Chorus:
C majorC
It's not the room

Not beginning
E minorEm
Not the crowd

Not winning
G+G
Not the planet that's spinning
C majorC
Not a ruse, not heat
E minorEm
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G+G
Not food, not to eat
C majorC
Not to die

Not dying
E minorEm
Not to laugh

Not lying
G+G
(?)Not to vacate wilderness fighting
C majorC
It's not the room

Not beginning
E minorEm
Not the crowd

Not winning
G+G
Not the planet that's spinning
