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