Biography:
Big Thief is an American indie rock band with folk roots. The band is based in Brooklyn, New York, and comprises Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia.
Big Thief's music, rooted in the songs of Adrianne Lenker, paints in vivid tones "the process of harnessing pain, loss, and love, while simultaneously letting go, looking into your own eyes through someone else's, and being okay with the inevitability of death," says Adrianne.

[Intro]
Em
[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 the 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
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 your bleeding
G Em
As you try to let go
[Chorus]
C
It's not the room
C
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C
Not a ruse not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food not to eat
[Verse 2]
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]
C
It's not the room
C
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C
Not a ruse not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food not to eat
[Verse 3]
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 the 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]
C
It's not the room
C
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
C
Not a ruse not heat
Em
Not the fire lapping up the creek
G
Not food not to eat
C
Not to die
C
Not dying
Em
Not to laugh
Em
Not lying
G
Not the vacant wilderness vying
C
Not the room
C
Not beginning
Em
Not the crowd
Em
Not winning
G
Not the planet not spinning
