[Verse 1]
Bm
All aboard this sinking ship
No business here, it's just relationships
G A
Derived, contrived, another mind homogenised
Bm
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 Bm
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 Bm
Play the part of the victim if it puts your mind at ease
Em F#
Put all the blame on me, close your eyes and listen please
[Chorus]
G D Bm 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
Bm A
And that you're never good enough?
G D A
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Bm D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A D A
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Bm A
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A
Are you listening? Are you listening?
[Verse 2]
Bm
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
Bm
'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 Bm Em F#
With no concern, and deathless turn, now we take control
[Chorus]
G D Bm 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
Bm A
And that you're never good enough?
G D A
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Bm D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A D A
Are you listening? Are you listening?
G D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
F#m F# Bm
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 Bm A
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
G D A
Tell me now, are you really listening
Bm A
When everybody tells you to stop
G F#
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 Bm
Are you listening? Are you listening?
