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