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