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