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