[Verse 1]
Cm
All aboard this sinking ship
No business here, it's just relationships
G# A#
Derived, contrived, another mind homogenised
Cm
Should this mean more to me?
D#
Just join the tribe and feel accepted
G#
But cool don't come for free
A#
That much was expected, forever discontented
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G# Cm
The rope that pulled me from the pit now hangs around my neck
A#
Is this the clue you wanted? Too cryptic for the rest
G# Cm
Play the part of the victim if it puts your mind at ease
Fm G
Put all the blame on me, close your eyes and listen please
[Chorus]
G# D# Cm A#
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
G# D# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening
G# D#
When everybody tells you to stop
Cm A#
And that you're never good enough?
G# D# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Cm D#
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A# D# A#
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Cm A#
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A#
Are you listening? Are you listening?
[Verse 2]
Cm
Reach out for help and she lets you down
So gild your pockets, we'll watch you drown
G# A#
A# burnt taste, a real waste, a sticky stain we'll soon erase
Cm
'Cause this means more to me
And we'll still look to the lights in the sky
G# A#
It's hard when all I see another ceiling I don't recognize
G# Cm Fm G
With no concern, and deathless turn, now we take control
[Chorus]
G# D# Cm A#
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
G# D# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening
G# D#
When everybody tells you to stop
Cm A#
And that you're never good enough?
G# D# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Cm D#
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A# D# A#
Are you listening? Are you listening?
G# D#
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Gm G Cm
Are you listening? Are you listening?
[Solo]
Bm, Bm, G, D#
G, G, A#, A
[Breakdown]
D#
As we pass by tonight
D#
We fade into hindsight
D#
The time slips off our lives
D#
Can this be realised?
[Interlude]
G, G, G, A#
G, G, A#, A
[Chorus]
G# D# Cm A#
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
G# D# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening
Cm A#
When everybody tells you to stop
G# G
And that you're never good enough?
G# A#
Tell me now, are you really listening?
[Outro]
A#
Oh, are you listening? (What are you listening?)
G# D#
(This was the night and this was the place)
(And this was the moment, this was the moment)
A# G# D# A#
Are you listening? Are you listening? Oh
A#
(This was the night and this was the place)
(And this was the moment, this was the moment)
A# Cm
Are you listening? Are you listening?
