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